The effect of valproic acid (VPA) on the disposition of carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide (epoxide) was studied in five epileptic patients on chronic carbamazepine (CBZ) therapy. The individual pharmacokinetic parameters influencing epoxide disposition were determined in the presence and absence of VPA. VPA significantly decreased the clearance of unbound epoxide (an in vivo index of epoxide hydrolase activity), but did not appear to affect epoxide formation. VPA also increased the free concentrations of both CBZ and epoxide.

D004827 Epilepsy A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of paroxysmal brain dysfunction due to a sudden, disorderly, and excessive neuronal discharge. Epilepsy classification systems are generally based upon: (1) clinical features of the seizure episodes (e.g., motor seizure), (2) etiology (e.g., post-traumatic), (3) anatomic site of seizure origin (e.g., frontal lobe seizure), (4) tendency to spread to other structures in the brain, and (5) temporal patterns (e.g., nocturnal epilepsy).
