Valproic acid-d4（Cat No.:S000276） is a deuterated form of valproic acid, where four hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium, enhancing its molecular stability and making it an ideal internal standard for analytical techniques such as mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. Valproic acid is widely used as an anticonvulsant and mood-stabilizing drug, primarily in the treatment of epilepsy, bipolar disorder, and migraine prevention. The introduction of deuterium in valproic acid-d4 enables more accurate pharmacokinetic and metabolic studies, helping researchers to better understand the drug’s metabolism, distribution, and elimination processes.
