Frequently asked questions about Divalproex

What is Divalproex?

Divalproex is a small molecule drug developed by Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd (ticker RDY). It is also known as divalproex sodium. The program is in Phase 1 development, and the specific therapeutic indication has not been disclosed. Its clinical work to date consists of bioequivalence studies in healthy adult volunteers.

What does Divalproex target?

Divalproex targets ALDH5A1, also known as succinate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase. It is classified as an inhibitor of that target. ALDH5A1 is an enzyme involved in the breakdown of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA, so inhibiting it affects GABA metabolism.

Who makes Divalproex?

Divalproex is developed by Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd, an Indian pharmaceutical company whose shares trade under the ticker RDY. Dr. Reddy's is the sponsor of the divalproex sodium bioequivalence studies registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

What phase is Divalproex in?

Divalproex is in Phase 1 development. All seven registered trials are Phase 1 studies, and all seven are completed, with no active trials currently listed. The studies enrolled a total of 278 participants and were conducted in healthy volunteers in India.

What clinical trials is Divalproex in?

Divalproex has been studied in Phase 1 bioequivalence trials, including NCT01581788 and NCT01581775, which tested 500 mg extended-release tablets under fed and fasting conditions, plus NCT01132196 for 500 mg delayed-release tablets and NCT01132183 for 125 mg sprinkle capsules. All are completed.

Is Divalproex the same as divalproex sodium?

Yes. Divalproex and divalproex sodium refer to the same drug substance, and the two names are used interchangeably. The bioequivalence trials registered for this program list the drug as divalproex sodium, while the shorter name divalproex is also used.
