Valpromide is a reactant used in the synthesis of mutual prodrugs containing bio-cleavable and drug releasable disulfide linkers.
Antiepileptic; anticonvulsant.
ChEBI: Valpromide is a fatty amide derived from valproic acid. It has a role as a metabolite, a teratogenic agent and a geroprotector. It is functionally related to a valproic acid.
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.
