Metabolite Identification
Common NameValproic acid
DescriptionValproic acid, also known as valproate or DPA, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methyl-branched fatty acids. These are fatty acids with an acyl chain that has a methyl branch. Usually, they are saturated and contain only one or more methyl group. However, branches other than methyl may be present. Valproic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Valproic acid is a potentially toxic compound.
