Pharmaceutical compositions comprising isovaleramide

摘要

Isovaleramide has been found to exhibit mild anxiolytic activity at low to moderate dosage levels and mildly sedative at somewhat higher dosage levels. In contrast to certain other materials thought to be anxiolytic or mildly sedative, isovaleramide is non-cytotoxic and does not paradoxically stimulate the central nervous system. Isovaleramide is therefore useful as a mild anxiolytic and mild sedative which can be made available to the general public.
