A REVIEW ON ANALYTICAL METHODS FOR ESTIMATION OF DIVALPROEX SODIUM IN PHARMACEUTICAL DOSAGE FORM Authors: Vasu S* And Gokhale N
ABSTRACT
Anti epileptics are used in the adequate and impressive control and management of CNS
disorders essentially characterized by recurrent attacks of disturbed brain function which
ultimately give rise to motor, sensory, and psychic sequence of events. Divalproex Sodium
(DS) is a fatty acid with anticonvulsant properties used in the treatment of epilepsy of bipolar
disorder and depression. This agent binds to and inhibits gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)
transaminase and its anticonvulsant activity may be exerted by increasing brain concentration
of GABA and by inhibiting enzymes that catabolize GABA or block the reuptake of GABA
into glia and nerve endings. On literature survey, it was found that not much work has been
done on this particular drug for its determination in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage forms
using chromatographic techniques.This review covers most recent analytical methods such as
various chromatographic methods and other methods for determination of Divalproex
Sodium in various pharmaceutical dosage forms were reported.
