Valproic Acid

We are offering valproic acid.
Valproic acid is a fatty acid with anticonvulsant properties used in the treatment of epilepsy. The mechanisms of its therapeutic actions are not well understood. It may be increasing gamma-aminobutyric acid level in brain & by altering the propertie of voltage dependent sodium channels. valproic acid is an anti-epileptic agent and mood stabilizer. The physio- logic effect of valproic acid is by means of decreased central nervous system disorganized electrical activity.
Valproic acid is a synthetic derivative of propylpentanoic acid with antiepileptic properties and potential antineoplastic & antiangiogenesis activities in epilepsy, valproic acidappears to act by increasing the concentration of gamma-aminobutyric acid (gaba) in the brain. This agent’s antitumor and antiangiogenesis activities may be related to the inhibition of histone deacetylases and nitric oxide synthase, which results in the inhibition of nitric oxide synthesis.
