Magnesium Valproate

Magnesium Valproate About

Since 2004, we are engaged in offering our clients Magnesium Valproate. It is a fatty acid with anticonvulsant properties used in the treatment of epilepsy. This derivative is the magnesium salt of valproic acid with antiepileptic and potential antineoplastic activities. The derivative dissociates in the gastrointestinal tract and is absorbed into the circulation as magnesium ions and valproic acid ions. It may inhibit histone deacetylases, inducing tumor cell differentiation, apoptosis, and growth arrest. Magnesium Valproate exerts an antiepileptic effect, likely by inhibiting enzymes that catabolize the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) catabolism and so increasing concentrations of GABA in the central nervous system (CNS).
