Valproate sodium (sodium valproate) is the sodium salt of valproic acid, a broad-spectrum antiepileptic agent that enhances GABA-ergic neurotransmission, inhibits voltage-gated sodium channels, and blocks T-type calcium channels to stabilize neuronal membranes and reduce seizure activity. It is used for epilepsy (multiple seizure types), bipolar disorder (mood stabilization), and migraine prophylaxis. Its histone deacetylase inhibitor activity has led to investigation as an epigenetic modifier in cancer.
