Valproic acid-d6 是 Valproic acid 的氘代物。Valproic acid (VPA; 2-Propylpentanoic Acid) 是一种 HDAC 抑制剂，IC50 值为 0.5-2 mM，抑制 HDAC1 的活性，(IC50，400 μM)，同时可诱导 HDAC2 的降解。Valproic acid 激活 Notch1 信号并抑制小细胞肺癌 (SCLC) 细胞的增殖。Valproic acid 可用于癫痫、双相情感障碍和偏头痛等的研究。 Valproic acid-d6 is the deuterium labeled Valproic acid. Valproic acid (VPA; 2-Propylpentanoic Acid) is an HDAC inhibitor, with IC50 in the range of 0.5 and 2 mM, also inhibits HDAC1 (IC50, 400 μM), and induces proteasomal degradation of HDAC2. Valproic acid activates Notch1 signaling and inhibits proliferation in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cells. Valproic acid sodium salt is used in the treatment of epilepsy, bipolar disorder and prevention of migraine headaches .
