valproic acid and Leukemia, Myeloid

valproic acid has been researched along with Leukemia, Myeloid in 21 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.

Leukemia, Myeloid: Form of leukemia characterized by an uncontrolled proliferation of the myeloid lineage and their precursors (MYELOID PROGENITOR CELLS) in the bone marrow and other sites.

" For patients with high-risk MDS, VPA may be combined with chemotherapy or demethylating drugs."2.71Results of a phase 2 study of valproic acid alone or in combination with all-trans retinoic acid in 75 patients with myelodysplastic syndrome and relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia. ( Fox, F; Gattermann, N; Germing, U; Haas, R; Hildebrandt, B; Knipp, S; Kuendgen, A; Steidl, C; Strupp, C, 2005)
"Valproic acid (VPA) has been used as an anticonvulsant for decades."2.44Valproic acid for the treatment of myeloid malignancies. ( Gattermann, N; Kuendgen, A, 2007)
" We conclude that valproic acid+ATRA+theophylline combined with 6-mercaptopurin or hydroxyurea can be safe and effective in palliative treatment of human AML."1.36Combination of the histone deacetylase inhibitor valproic acid with oral hydroxyurea or 6-mercaptopurin can be safe and effective in patients with advanced acute myeloid leukaemia--a report of five cases. ( Bruserud, Ø; Fredly, H; Gjertsen, BT; Stapnes Bjørnsen, C, 2010)
"Valproic acid is an effective anti-epileptic medication often used for long-term control of seizure disorders that has been implicated in hematological toxicities, including rare reports of myelodysplasia and acute leukemia."1.35Translocation-positive acute myeloid leukemia associated with valproic acid therapy. ( Ben-Ezra, J; Massey, GV; Riley, RS; Russell, EC; Williams, DC, 2008)
