Application

Valnoctamide has been used:
  • as a mood stabilizer to study its anti-cytomegalovirus (anti-CMV) effects in newborn mice brain
  • as a hypnotic sedative to study its cytotoxic effects on oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) and human oligodendroglioma cell line (HOG)
  • as a mood stabilizer to study its effects on inhibition of human cytomegalovirus

Actions biochimiques/physiologiques

Valnoctamide exhibits anti-cytomegalovirus (anti-CMV) properties. It has therapeutic effects against status epilepticus (SE) and neuropathic pain. Valnoctamide also shows therapeutic effects against bipolar disorders.
Valproic acid (VPA) and derivatives such as valpromide and valnoctamide are anti-convulsant, mood stabilizing drugs, believed to function as indirect GABA agonists by inhibiting the transamination of GABA.

Six patients stabilized with carbamazepine (CBZ) therapy received an 8-day "add-on" supplement of valnoctamide (VCD), a tranquilizer available over the counter (OTC) in several European countries that exhibits promising anticonvulsant activity in animal models. During VCD intake, serum levels of

The teratogenic properties of valproic acid (VPA) and its analogues depend to a great extent on their chemical structure. We investigated the structure-teratogenicity relationships of VPA, its structural isomer, valnoctic acid (VCA), and their two amide analogues, valpromide (VPD) and

sec-Butyl-propylacetamide (SPD) is a one-carbon homolog of valnoctamide (VCD), a central nervous system (CNS)-active amide derivative of valproic acid (VPA) currently in phase II clinical trials. The study reported herein evaluated the anticonvulsant activity of SPD in a battery of
