valproic acid

Valproic Acid (2-Propylpentanoic Acid) is an HDAC inhibitor that suppresses HDAC1 activity and induces HDAC2 degradation, exhibiting oral bioavailability. Valproic Acid activates Notch1 signalling and inhibits the proliferation of small cell lung carcinoma cells, making it applicable for research into epilepsy and bipolar disorder.

1. p-Hydroxybenzaldehyde (p-Oxybenzaldehyde) shows an inhibitory effect on the GABA transaminase to contribute to an antiepileptic and anticonvulsive activity, and its inhibitory activity was higher than that of valproic acid, a known anticonvulsant.

(±)-Pantothenic acid ((±)-Pantothenate), a B-vitamin, is crucial for coenzyme A (CoA) biosynthesis in mammalian cells and protects against valproic acid (VPA)-induced neural tube defects (NTD) in CD-1 mice [1].
