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.
