Valpromide (marketed asDepamide bySanofi-Aventis) is acarboxamide derivative ofvalproic acid used in the treatment ofepilepsy and someaffective disorders. It is rapidly metabolised (80%) tovalproic acid (anotheranticonvulsant) but has anticonvulsant properties itself. It may produce more stable plasma levels than valproic acid orsodium valproate and may be more effective at preventing febrile seizures. However, it is over one hundred times more potent as an inhibitor of liver microsomalepoxide hydrolase. This makes it incompatible withcarbamazepine and can affect the ability of the body to remove other toxins. Valpromide is no safer during pregnancy than valproic acid.

Valpromide is formed through the reaction of valproic acid andammonia via an intermediateacid chloride.

In pure form, valpromide is a white crystalline powder and has a melting point 125–126 °C. It is soluble only in hot water. It is available on the market in some European countries.
