Orally active valproic acid (Cat No. 2815) derivative that exhibits teratogenic and neuroprotective activity. Upregulates neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) expression, activates PPARδ (IC50 = 0.6 mM) and increases Hoxa1 expression in rat embryos. Antiproliferative; induces G1 cell cycle arrest in C6 glioma cells (IC50 ~ 2 mM).
