Anticonvulsant, but not antiepileptic, action of valproate on audiogenic seizures in metaphit-treated rats.

1. The blocking effects of valproate (2-propylpentanoic acid), a standard anti-epileptic drug, on metaphit (1-[1-(3-isothiocyanatophenyl)-cyclohexyl]-piperidine)-induced audiogenic seizures as a model of generalized, reflex audiogenic epilepsy in adult Wistar male rats were studied. 2.
