          Parahydrogen Induced Polarization (PHIP) is increasingly 
						used as a promising tool for medical/biological 
						applications in magnetic resonance as it can increase 
						MR-sensitivity by orders of magnitude. So far only a few 
						number of molecules acting as metabolic sensors were 
						already hyperpolarized with PHIP, but the direct 
						hyperpolarization of drugs used in the treatment of 
						neurological disorders was not achieved so far. In this 
						study the feasibility of applying PHIP to valproate 
						(used in epilepsy treatment) and structurally related 
						molecules with different side chains was examined in NMR 
						and MRI experiments.
