Abstract
N‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2‐propylpentanamide (HO‐AAVPA), a derivative of valproic acid (VPA), has been proposed as a potential anticancer agent due to its improved antiproliferative effects in some cancer cell lines. Although there is evidence that VPA is metabolized by cytochrome P450 2C11 rat isoform, HO‐AAVPA CYP‐mediated metabolism has not yet been fully explored. Therefore, in this work, the biotransformation of HO‐AAVPA by CYP2C11 was investigated.
