The anticonvulsant drug 1-methyl-1-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid ( MCCA ) has been shown to cause maturation of murine neuroblastoma cells in vitro at concentrations that are pharmacologically achievable. HL-60 human promyelocytic leukemia cells cultured with this drug underwent a dose-dependent decrease in

Cytochrome P450-dependent desaturation of the anticonvulsant drug valproic acid (VPA) results in formation of the hepatotoxin, 4-ene-VPA. Polytherapy with other anticonvulsants which are known P450 inducers increases the flux through this bioactivation pathway. The aim of the present study was
