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

Biochem/physiol Actions

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.

Valproic acid (VPA) is one of the major antiepileptic drugs. However, its anticonvulsant potency is less than the other three major antiepileptic drugs. Furthermore, VPA causes two rare but severe side effects: teratogenicity and hepatotoxicity. We utilized pharmacokinetic considerations in

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
