| Application: | Valpromide has been used to pretreat NIH/3T3 cells to test its effect on cytomegalovirus (CMV) viral replication. It has also been used to test its antiviral functionality in herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infected human oligodendroglioma (HOG) cells. It may be used to test its effect on apoptosis induction in astrocytes. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Valpromide (VPD) is a derivative of valproic acid (VPA) and is used as an antiepileptic drug. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Valpromide (VPD) is a derivative of valproic acid (VPA) and is used as an antiepileptic drug. It is hydrolyzed quickly to VPA in vivo, but has intrinsic anticonvulsant activity. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Valpromide possesses antipsychotic property. It lacks the toxic and teratogenic effects of valproic acid. It also lacks the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitory activity of valproic acid. |
