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).

Valproate is used for the treatment of epilepsy and other neuropsychological disorders and may be the only treatment option for women of childbearing potential. However, prenatal exposure to valproate may increase the risk of autism. To determine whether prenatal exposure

Although Lgr5(+) intestinal stem cells have been expanded in vitro as organoids, homogeneous culture of these cells has not been possible thus far. Here we show that two small molecules, CHIR99021 and valproic acid, synergistically maintain self-renewal of mouse Lgr5(+)

Acute valproic acid intoxication is an increasing problem, accounting for more than 5000 calls to the American Association of Poison Control Centers in 2000. The purpose of this paper is to review the pharmacology and toxicology of valproic acid toxicity.

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

We hypothesized that total brain volume, white matter volume, and lobar cortical thickness would be different in epilepsy patients. We studied valproate relative to nonvalproate by using patients with epilepsy and healthy controls. Patients with focal intractable epilepsy from a
