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).

The present study investigated the effect of cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) genetic polymorphism on the biotransformation of valproic acid (VPA) to its hepatotoxic metabolite, 4-ene-VPA, and compared that to the formation of the inactive 4-OH-VPA and 5-OH-VPA. cDNA-expressed CYP2C9(*)2 and
