19 Μαρ 2024 · Valproic acid (VPA) ia as a highly prevalent medication with multifaceted therapeutic applications in various neurological and psychiatric disorders. The therapeutic uses of VPA include epilepsy treatment across different seizure types, bipolar disorder management, and migraine prophylaxis.
The aim of this review is to analyze both clinical and preclinical aspects regarding the use of valproic acid (N-dipropylacetic acid or VPA), moving from preclinical evidences of anticonvulsant activity and neuroprotection to clinical data on efficacy and tolerability profile both in the pediatric and adult population.

Valproic acid (VPA) is a branched short-chain fatty acid derived from naturally occurring valeric acid. VPA is used primarily in the treatment of epilepsy and seizures, but is also used in migraine, bipolar, mood, anxiety, and psychiatric disorders [1].
Population pharmacokinetics is an essential tool that helps guide individualized dosing regimens. The aims of this systematic review are to provide knowledge concerning population pharmacokinetics of valproic acid (VPA) and to identify factors influencing VPA pharmacokinetic variability.
2 Αυγ 2024 · Here, we report that the small branched-chain fatty acid Valproic acid (VPA), approved for maintenance of seizure and bipolar disorder, has a novel anti- coronavirus activity that can be augmented with the addition of a long-chain, polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid, Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
Abstract. After more than a century from its discovery, valproic acid (VPA) still represents one of the most efficient antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). Pre and post-synaptic effects of VPA depend on a very broad spectrum of actions, including the regulation of ionic currents and the facilitation of GABAergic over glutamatergic transmission.
