Biological Activity
Valpromide is an antiepileptic derivative of valproic acid that acts as an inhibitor of human epoxide hydrolase. By inhibiting epoxide hydrolase activity, valpromide disrupts the metabolic biotransformation of epoxide intermediates, suppressing xenobiotic degradation. In addition, valpromide modulates viral and cellular gene expression, dampening downstream transcriptional processes and viral replication while altering pathways involved in mood stabilization and neuronal excitability.

(Moisture-contaminated DMSO may reduce solubility. Use fresh, anhydrous DMSO. The recommended stock concentration is 10 mM in DMSO.) |
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
- Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
- Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
- For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
- Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
