General description

A Certified Spiking Solution® suitable for use in LC/MS or GC/MS applications in clinical toxicology, forensic analysis, urine drug testing, prescription monitoring or pharmaceutical research. Valproic acid, sold under trade names including Depakote®, Valparin, or Stavzor®, is an antiepileptic drug and mood stabilizer. The drug is prescribed for treatment of epilepsy, bipolar disorder, migraine headaches, and depression.

Application


  • The prenatal use of agmatine prevents social behavior deficits in VPA-exposed mice by activating the ERK/CREB/BDNF signaling pathway: This study explores the neuroprotective effects of agmatine against Valproic acid-induced behavioral deficits in mice, highlighting Valproic acid′s role in epigenetic modifications and its potential use in developmental neurotoxicology research (Chen et al., 2024).

Previous functional imaging studies have shown altered brain activity during cognitive task performance in bipolar patients. However, the fact that these patients are often on medication makes it unclear to what extent these changes reflect treatment effects. This study aims

The antiepileptic drug valproic acid, a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, is currently being tested as an anticancer agent. However, HDAC inhibitors may interact with anticancer drugs through induction of P-glycoprotein (P-gp, MDR1) expression. In this study we assessed whether valproic
