Application

VAHA may be used in cell signaling studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Hydroxamic acid derivatives of valproic acid exhibit anticonvulsant activity with no teratogenic activity in mouse neural tube defect model. It is effective in the treatment of bipolar disorders.
VAHA (Valproyl hydroxamic acid) is an HDAC inhibitor with less activity than valproic acid against Class I enzymes but much greater Class II activity
