valproic acid and Pervasive Child Development Disorders

valproic acid has been researched along with Pervasive Child Development Disorders in 28 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.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Using the prenatal valproic acid (VPA)-injection model of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in rats, which produces social impairrment and altered seizure susceptibility as in human ASD patients as well as mild neural tube defects like crooked tail phenotype, we examined whether chronic administration of red ginseng extract may rescue the social impairment and crooked tail phenotype in prenatally VPA-exposed rat offspring."7.79Effects of Korean red ginseng extracts on neural tube defects and impairment of social interaction induced by prenatal exposure to valproic acid. ( Han, SH; Kim, HJ; Kim, HY; Kim, KC; Kim, P; Kwon, KJ; Lee, JM; Park, JH; Shin, CY, 2013)
"Valproic acid (VPA) is a blocker of histone deacetylase widely used to treat epilepsy, bipolar disorders, and migraine; its administration during pregnancy increases the risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the child."3.79Rearrangement of the dendritic morphology in limbic regions and altered exploratory behavior in a rat model of autism spectrum disorder. ( Atzori, M; Bringas, ME; Carvajal-Flores, FN; Flores, G; López-Ramírez, TA, 2013)

"9)), with a dose-response relationship."1.56Risk of early neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with prenatal exposure to the antiepileptic drugs most commonly used during pregnancy: a French nationwide population-based cohort study. ( Blotière, PO; Coste, J; Dray-Spira, R; Mahmoud, Z; Mikaeloff, Y; Miranda, S; Peyre, H; Ramus, F; Weill, A, 2020)
" Our previous studies have demonstrated the social cognition deficits observed in this model, a major core symptom of ASD, to be ameliorated following chronic administration of histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors."1.40Pentyl-4-yn-VPA, a histone deacetylase inhibitor, ameliorates deficits in social behavior and cognition in a rodent model of autism spectrum disorders. ( Cassidy, AW; Foley, AG; Regan, CM, 2014)
"Valproate is used for the treatment of epilepsy and other neuropsychological disorders and may be the only treatment option for women of childbearing potential."1.39Prenatal valproate exposure and risk of autism spectrum disorders and childhood autism.
