• The serum concentration of valproic acid (VPA) in epilepsy patients decreased by the administration of car-bapenem antibiotics, such as meropenem, panipenem or imipenem, to a sub-therapeutic level. Studies to explain the decrease were carried out using almost rats by the following steps: absorption of VPA in the intestine, glucuronidation in the liver, disposition in blood and renal excretion. It is difficult to consider the inhibition of intestinal absorption, because carbapenem antibiotics are intravenously administered and do not reach the intestine at an effective concentration. The liver is the key organ for the decrease of VPA concentration by carbapenem antibiotics, because it has been reported that no decrease of the VPA level by carbapenem was found in hepatectomized rats. The most likely mechanism in liver is the activation of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase by carbapenem antibiotics. We found a 35% increase of VPA-glucuronidation activity by the pre-incubation of human liver microsomes with meropenem. We estimated that this increase fully compensates for the decrease of serum VPA level by carbapenem antibiotics in patients. Meanwhile, we could not find the in vitro activation of CYP2A6, CYP3A4, P-glycoprotein (P-gp, MDR1) and Multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 by pre-incubation with carbapenem antibiotics. Thus, we considered that the activation of VPA glucuronidation by carbapenem antibiotics is a key point in the decrease of plasma VPA level.
