Valnoctamide has been used:
- as a mood stabilizer to study its anti-cytomegalovirus (anti-CMV) effects in newborn mice brain
- as a hypnotic sedative to study its cytotoxic effects on oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) and human oligodendroglioma cell line (HOG)
- as a mood stabilizer to study its effects on inhibition of human cytomegalovirus
