The effect of the antiepileptic drug valproic acid (di-n-propylacetic acid, 200 mg kg-1) on brain 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) synthesis during monoamine oxidase inhibition by pargyline hydrochloride (120 mg kg-1) was studied in mice. Valproic acid increased 5-HT synthesis and elevated 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid level in brain indicating that turnover of 5-HT is increased. The possible significance of this effect in relation to anticonvulsant action of valproic acid is discussed.
在小鼠中研究了抗癫痫药物丙戊酸(二正丙基乙酸,200毫克/千克)对盐酸帕吉林(120毫克/千克)抑制单胺氧化酶期间脑5-羟色胺(5-HT)合成的影响。丙戊酸增加了脑内5-HT的合成并提高了5-羟吲哚乙酸水平,表明5-HT的更新增加。讨论了这种作用与丙戊酸抗惊厥作用相关的可能意义。
