• Description: Valproic acid b-D-glucuronide is a drug that belongs to the group of anticonvulsants. Valproic acid b-D-glucuronide inhibits the activity of glutamate, which is an excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain. It also causes irreversible inhibition of GluCl channels and increases diastolic pressure. Valproic acid b-D-glucuronide has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, as it reduces the production of prostaglandins and cytokines. The drug has been used in animal models to study pain perception and chronic pain syndromes such as bone cancer or metabolic disorders. Valproic acid b-D-glucuronide also blocks GABA receptors, causing increased levels of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) and dopamine. The drug has been shown to induce a state of deep sleep in rats that are deprived from REM sleep for three weeks.
