Abstract excerpt
Sodium valproate (VPA) has 16 known metabolites in humans. The 2-ene-VPA has anti-convulsant efficacy and 4-ene-VPA is reported to contribute in VPA hepatotoxicity. The formation of 4-ene-VPA is catalyzed by cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9). CYP2C9 allele mutation is closely related to the attenuation of the enzymatic activity and 4-ene-VPA production. In the present work, VPA, 2-ene-VPA, and 4-ene-VPA in serum of...
