Twenty-two new N-phenyl-2-(4-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)acetamide derivatives have been synthesized and evaluated for their anticonvulsant activity in animal models of epilepsy. These molecules have been designed as analogs of previously obtained anticonvulsant active pyrrolidine-2,5-diones in which heterocyclic imide ring has been changed into chain amide bound. The final compounds were synthesized in the alkylation reaction of the corresponding amines with the previously obtained alkylating reagents 2-chloro-1-(3-chlorophenyl)ethanone (1) or 2-chloro-1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]ethanone (2). Initial anticonvulsant screening was performed using standard maximal electroshock (MES) and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole screens in mice and/or rats. Several compounds were tested additionally in the psychomotor seizures (6-Hz model). The acute neurological toxicity was determined applying the rotarod test. The results of pharmacological studies showed activity exclusively in the MES seizures especially for 3-(trifluoromethyl)anilide derivatives, whereas majority of 3-chloroanilide analogs were inactive. It should be emphasize that several molecules showed also activity in the 6-Hz screen which is an animal model of human partial and therapy-resistant epilepsy. In the in vitro studies, the most potent derivative 20 was observed as moderate binder to the neuronal voltage-sensitive sodium channels (site 2). The SAR studies for anticonvulsant activity confirmed the crucial role of pyrrolidine-2,5-dione core fragment for anticonvulsant activity.

Major advances in antiepileptic drug therapy have taken place since 1950s. In the first period, several antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) such as phenobarbital, diphenylhydantoin, ethosuximide, carbamazepine, benzodiazepines and valproic acid were introduced to epilepsy treatment. After 1990 many new generation drugs (lamotrigine, topiramate, gabapentine, pregabaline, felbamate, lacosamide, levetiracetam etc.) have been developed. These novel AEDs have offered some advantages such as fewer side effects, fewer drug-drug interactions, and better pharmacokinetic properties. But pharmacoresistance and therapeutic failure in 20-25% of the patients remain the main reasons to continue efforts to find safer and more efficacious drugs and ultimate a treatment for this devastating disease. Several AEDs especially novel compounds have been found to be effective also in the treatment of several other neurologic and psychiatric disorders. Chemical diversity of the newer antiepileptic drugs as well as those currently in clinical development is another point that encourages medicinal chemists to study this subject. This review summarizes recent studies on the development of potential anticonvulsant compounds in different chemical structures, their structure-activity relationships and also therapeutic usages of AEDs other than epilepsy.

Diethyl-2, 6-dimethyl-1, 4-dihydropyridine-3, 5-dicarboxylate (1A) and Diethyl-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2, 6-dimethyl-1, 4dihydropyridine-3, 5dicarboxylate (1A') were synthesized by the condensation of ethyl acetoacetate with formaldehyde and para hydroxy benzaldehyde for 1A and 1A' respectively. From these intermediates, novel derivatives of 2, 6-dimethyl-N 3 ,N 5-diphenyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarbohydrazide (2A-2D') were prepared in the presence of methanol and respective phenyl hydrazine. In view of the biological activities possessed by 1,4-dihydropyridines, synthesized compounds were subjected to in vivo anticonvulsant and sedative activities. Anticonvulsant activity was evaluated using Maximal electroshock (MES) induced convulsion method and Pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) induced convulsion method. Sedative activity was assessed by two models namely, locomotor activity using actophotometer in mice and anxiolytic activity using the elevated plus maze in rats. Phenytoin and diazepam were taken as standards for anticonvulsant activity, Chlorpromazine and diazepam were used as standards for sedative activity. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was used as control; activity of synthesized drugs was compared with that of standards. All the newly synthesized derivatives exhibited significant anticonvulsant activity and considerably low sedative activity.
Comparative Analysis of Anticonvulsant Activity of Trans and Cis 5,5′-Diphenylhydantoin Schiff Bases
International Journal of Molecular Sciences
Recently, the four 5,5′-diphenylhydantoin Schiff bases, possessing different aromatic species (SB1-Ph, SB2-Ph, SB3-Ph and SB4-Ph) were synthesized, characterized, and evaluated for anticonvulsant activity in combination with phenytoin. In the present study, the SB1-Ph and SB4-Ph compounds were selected, based on their anticonvulsant potency, and compared with their cis isomers, prepared after a one-hour exposure to the UV source, for their anticonvulsant potency in the maximal electroshock (MES) test and the kainate (KA)-induced status epilepticus (SE) test in mice. In the MES test, the cis SB1-Ph compound exhibited superior to phenytoin and trans isomer activity in the three tested doses, while the cis SB4-Ph compound entirely suppressed the electroshock-induced seizure spread at the highest dose of 40 mg/kg. Pretreatment with the cis SB1-Ph compound and the cis SB4-Ph at the doses of 40 mg/kg, respectively, for seven days, significantly attenuated the severity of KA SE compared to...

Since the processes of synthesis of drug compounds, methods of their purification, drying and grinding have a ABSTRACT Background: We have synthesized three 5-R-1-aryl-1,5-dihydro-4Нpyrazole(3,4-d)pyrimidine-4-one derivatives that previously have demonstrated powerful anticonvulsant activity. A great number of physicochemical factors are known to influence on bioavailability and stability of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Therefore the purpose of research was to determine the effect of purification technology and dispersibility of 5-R-1-aryl-1, 5-dihydro-4Нpyrazole (3,4-d) pyrimidine-4-one derivatives on their anticonvulsant activity. Methods: The anticonvulsant effect of this compounds was studied in a model of pentylenetetrazole-induced seizure in mice. Results: The results obtained revealed the optimal solvent for recrystallization of compounds to be isopropanol: compounds, purified by recrystallization from isopropanol, had higher solubility in water and tween; also, they had a tendency to increase anticonvulsant activity. It was found that there is a significant dependence of the latter on compound's dispersion-the smaller the size of crystals the higher anticonvulsant activity. Conclusions: The dependence of anticonvulsant activity of compounds on the degree of dispersion was proved: the smaller particle size the higher anticonvulsant activity. This can be explained by fast dissolution of finedispersed substances, thus increasing the bioavailability if the compounds studied.

Considering the importance of hydantoin derivatives in treatment of status epilepticus, four 5-phenylhydantoins, whose lipophilicities were estimated to be similar to that of phenytoin, were synthesized. Evaluation of their anticonvulsant activities was performed on rats by subcutaneous pentylenetetrazol seizure test and intravenous pentylenetetrazol threshold test, and spontaneous locomotor activity test was used to assess possible sedative effects. X-ray analysis of three compounds suggested that certain analogies might be drawn between interactions in crystal packing and biological interactions responsible for their anticonvulsant activity. It was found that 5-ethyl-5-phenyl-3-propylhydantoin exhibits the most favorable pharmacological properties among the synthesized compounds, i.e., anticonvulsant activity comparable to phenytoin with lower liability for induction of sedation in rats.

Epilepsy belongs to the most common and debilitating neurological disorders with multifactorial pathophysiology and a high level of drug resistance. Therefore, with the aim of searching for new, more effective, and/or safer therapeutics, we discovered a focused series of original hybrid pyrrolidine-2,5-dione derivatives with potent anticonvulsant properties. We applied an optimized coupling reaction yielding several hybrid compounds that showed broad-spectrum activity in widely accepted animal seizure models, namely, the maximal electroshock (MES) test and the psychomotor 6 Hz (32 mA) seizure model in mice. The most potent anticonvulsant activity and favorable safety profile was demonstrated for compound 30 (median effective dose (ED50) MES = 45.6 mg/kg, ED50 6 Hz (32 mA) = 39.5 mg/kg, median toxic dose (TD50) (rotarod test) = 162.4 mg/kg). Anticonvulsant drugs often show activity in pain models, and compound 30 was also proven effective in the formalin test of tonic pain, the capsa...

1,5-Diaryl-1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for its anticonvulsant activity using maximal electroshock (MES) and chemoshock (scPTZ and Strychnine) animal screen methods. Neurotoxicity was also assessed. In MES model, compound 4f showed 100% of phenytoin activity after both 0.5 and 4 h. In scPTZ model, compound 4e showed 100% of sodium valproate activity. In Strychnine model, compound 4e showed 120% more delay of onset of convulsion and 124% more delay of time of death relative to sodium valproate. Most of the target compounds showed mild neurotoxicity especially compound 4f which showed excellent activity against electroshock. Pharmacophoric study reveals that the synthesized compounds showed good fitting on the pharmacophoric query with good RMSDX results.
