Application
Valpromide has been used to pretreat NIH/3T3 cells to test its effect on cytomegalovirus (CMV) viral replication. It has also been used to test its antiviral functionality in herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infected human oligodendroglioma (HOG) cells. It may be used to test its effect on apoptosis induction in astrocytes.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Valpromide possesses antipsychotic property. It lacks the toxic and teratogenic effects of valproic acid. It also lacks the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitory activity of valproic acid.
Valpromide (VPD) is a derivative of valproic acid (VPA) and is used as an antiepileptic drug.
Valpromide (VPD) is a derivative of valproic acid (VPA) and is used as an antiepileptic drug. It is hydrolyzed quickly to VPA in vivo, but has intrinsic anticonvulsant activity.

The antiepileptic drug valproic acid (VPA) is well known to cause neural tube and skeletal defects in both humans and animals. The amidic VPA analogues valpromide (VPD) and valnoctamide (VCD) have much lower teratogenicity than VPA inducing exencephaly in mice.
