Research Excerpts

Overview

Valproic acid derivative associated with decreased risk for congenital abnormalities in animals. Valnoctamide is an analog of valproate that does not undergo biotransformation to the corresponding free acid.

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
"Valnoctamide is a valproic acid derivative associated with a decreased risk for congenital abnormalities in animals."( A randomized, double-blind, placebo- and risperidone-controlled study on valnoctamide for acute mania.

Effects

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
"Valnoctamide has a stereoselective PK with (2S,3S)-VCD exhibiting the lowest clearance and, consequently, a twice-higher plasma exposure than all other stereoisomers."( The potential of sec-butylpropylacetamide (SPD) and valnoctamide and their individual stereoisomers in status epilepticus.

Toxicity

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
"The liver toxicity of valproic acid (VPA) is an established side effect of this widely used antiepileptic drug, which is extremely problematic for patients with metabolic epilepsy and particularly epilepsy due to mitochondrial dysfunction."( Mitochondrial Liver Toxicity of Valproic Acid and Its Acid Derivatives Is Related to Inhibition of α-Lipoamide Dehydrogenase.

Pharmacokinetics

Valnoctamide is a CNS-active amide derivative of a chiral isomer of valproic acid. It exhibits enantioselective and diastereoselectivity, an observation that may have important practical implications.

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
"Valnoctamide exhibits enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity, an observation that may have important practical implications if pharmacodynamic differences between stereoisomers are also found."( Stereoselective pharmacokinetic analysis of valnoctamide in healthy subjects and in patients with epilepsy.

" We utilized pharmacokinetic considerations in designing various amide derivatives of VPA which are more potent as anticonvulsants than VPA and have the potential to be nonteratogenic and nonhepatotoxic."( Pharmacokinetic considerations in the design of better and safer new antiepileptic drugs.
Bialer, M, 1999
)

" Consequently, in all three animal species the half-life (t1/2) of (2S,3R)-VCD was not different from the t1/2 of the other three VCD stereoisomers."( Stereoselective pharmacokinetic analysis of valnoctamide, a CNS-active chiral amide analogue of valproic acid, in dogs, rats, and mice.

" Stereoselectivity was observed in clearance, volume of distribution, and in brain-to-plasma AUC ratio at a dose of 25 mg/kg, but the difference disappeared at higher doses as the clearance of the stereoisomers decreased and their half-life increased."( Pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationships of (2S,3S)-valnoctamide and its stereoisomer (2R,3S)-valnoctamide in rodent models of epilepsy.

"The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stereoselective pain relieving (antiallodynic) activity, antiallodynic-anticonvulsant correlation, teratogenicity and pharmacokinetic profile of two stereoisomers of valnoctamide (VCD), a CNS-active amide derivative of a chiral isomer of valproic acid (VPA)."( Evaluation of the antiallodynic, teratogenic and pharmacokinetic profile of stereoisomers of valnoctamide, an amide derivative of a chiral isomer of valproic acid.

Bioavailability

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
" Following oral administration, the absolute bioavailability of VCD was 94 +/- 14%, and the terminal half-life was similar to that obtained after iv administration."( Pharmacokinetics of a valpromide isomer, valnoctamide, in dogs.
