valproic acid and Colitis

valproic acid has been researched along with Colitis in 4 studies

Valproic Acid: A fatty acid with anticonvulsant and anti-manic properties that is used in the treatment of EPILEPSY and BIPOLAR DISORDER. The mechanisms of its therapeutic actions are not well understood. It may act by increasing GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID levels in the brain or by altering the properties of VOLTAGE-GATED SODIUM CHANNELS.
valproic acid : A branched-chain saturated fatty acid that comprises of a propyl substituent on a pentanoic acid stem.

Colitis: Inflammation of the COLON section of the large intestine (INTESTINE, LARGE), usually with symptoms such as DIARRHEA (often with blood and mucus), ABDOMINAL PAIN, and FEVER.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Ulcerative colitis is a chronic recurrent disease with incomplete treatment options."5.46The effect of sodium valproate on acetic acid-induced colitis in rats. ( Ghasemi-Pirbaluti, M; Hosseini, MJ; Motaghi, E; Najafi, A, 2017)
" The agents tested were: alpha-lactoalbumin (ALAC), a whey protein rich in tryptophan, effective in some animal models of epilepsy and on colon/intestine inflammation, valproic acid (VPA), an effective antiepileptic drug in this seizure model, mesalazine (MSZ) an effective aminosalicylate anti-inflammatory treatment against ulcerative colitis and sodium butyrate (NaB), a short chain fatty acid (SCFA) normally produced in the intestine by gut microbiota, important in maintaining gut health and reducing gut inflammation and oxidative stress."3.91Intestinal inflammation increases convulsant activity and reduces antiepileptic drug efficacy in a mouse model of epilepsy.

" Valproic acid (VPA) and suberyolanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) were chosen for further studies in dextran sulfate sodium- and trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid-induced colitis in mice."3.73Histone hyperacetylation is associated with amelioration of experimental colitis in mice.
