Anticonvulsant evaluation of some newer benzimidazole derivatives: design and synthesis

Acta poloniae pharmaceutica

A series of new 2-[(1-substituted phenylethylidine) hydrazine]-N-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-1-carbothioamides (4a-n) were designed and synthesized to have the pharmacophoric elements essential for anticonvulsant activity. The key step in the synthesis of the title compounds involves the reaction of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole with hydrazine hydrate, substituted acetophenones and phenylisothiocyanate to get the compounds in good yields. All the newly synthesized compounds were screened by two most adopted models, maximal electroshock seizure (MES) and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ). Interestingly, compounds 4e, 4f, 4g, 4h and 4j exhibited potent anticonvulsant results and in the neurotoxicity screening, most of the compounds were devoid of toxicity at the dose of 60 and 100 mg/kg.

Synthesis of new benzimidazole and phenylhydrazinecarbothiomide hybrids and their anticonvulsant activity

Medicinal Chemistry Research, 2016

A series of new benzimidazole derivatives (4ap) were synthesized and evaluated for anticonvulsant activity in albino mice against two most adopted models, i.e. maximal electroshock seizure (MES)-and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ)-induced seizures. Synthesized compounds were also screened for possible neurotoxicity using rotarod test. Among the synthesized compounds, 4p showed the most promising activity in MES and scPTZ screens, which was further subjected for oral activity in rats. At a dose of 30 mg/kg, it showed tremendous activity in the scPTZ screen. The acute toxicity study (LD 50) of compounds showed that only two tested compounds 4f and 4m did not produce any mortality at any of the dose level. Molecular properties and pharmacokinetic parameters of the titled compounds were also determined using Lipinski's rule of five. The promising results encourage future investigation on the rational modification of this nucleus for development of better compounds.

Design, synthesis and anticonvulsant evaluation of N-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-ylcarbamoyl)-2-methyl-4-oxoquinazoline-3(4H)-carbothioamide derivatives: A hybrid pharmacophore approach

European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2013

INTRODUCTION Epilepsy is the fourth most common neurological problem affecting human population after migrane, stroke and Alzheimer's disease (Epilepsy foundation). Epilepsy belongs to a group of neurological disorders showing neuronal hyperexcitability characterized by recurrent seizures in different parts of the brain [1]. According to WHO, it is estimated that the condition affects approximately 50 million people worldwide, 80 % of which resides in developing countries. Enormous AEDs belonging to different classes are used nowadays to treat epilepsy including phenytoin, carbamazepine, valproic acid, topiramate, gabapentin, felbamate, levetiracetam, etc. [2]. However, the current therapy using the presently available antiepileptic drugs shows limitations viz. insufficient, seizure control, unpredictability of effect and its loss, poor efficacy, inadequate information about the receptors involved, etc. Moreover AEDs do not prevent epilepsy in persons at risk of drug-resistance. Further, long term therapy with these drugs pose an array of side effects which includes but is not limited to drowsiness, ataxia, gastrointestinal disturbances, megaloblasticanaemia and hirsutism [3,4]. Hence there exists the continuous need for the discovery and development of new antiepileptic agents with higher activity, minimal or negligible toxicity and side effects. A number of heterocyclic derivatives possessing nitrogen has been reported to play an important role in pharmaceutical Design, Synthesis and Anticonvulsant Evaluation of N-[(Substituted 1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino]-2-(4-methylphenyl)quinazolin-4(3H)-one Derivatives

Design, synthesis, anticonvulsant activity, and pharmacophore study of new 1,5-diaryl-1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide derivatives

Medicinal Chemistry Research, 2017

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.

Archiv der Pharmazie, 2012

The present study describes the synthesis and anticonvulsant activity evaluation of 6-substituted-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole derivatives (4a-4x) and their partially dehydrogenated products 5,6-dihydro-6-substituted-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole derivatives (5a-5n). The bioevaluation demonstrated that most compounds in the series of 4a-4x exhibited potent anticonvulsant activity in the maximal electroshock test. Among which, 6-(4-chlorophenyl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4b][1,3,4]thiadiazole (4h) emerged as the most promising candidate on the basis of its favorable ED 50 value of 23.7 mg/kg and PI value of 10.8. In addition, the potency of compound 4h against seizures induced by pentylenetetrazole, 3-mercaptopropionic acid, and bicuculline in the chemicalinduced seizure tests suggested that compound 4h displayed broad-spectrum activity in several models, and it may exert its anticonvulsant activity through affecting the GABAergic system.

Preliminary anticonvulsant and toxicity screening of substituted benzylidenehydrazinyl-N-(6-substituted benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)propanamides

TheScientificWorldJournal, 2014

Keeping in view the structural requirements suggested in the pharmacophore model for anticonvulsant activity, a new series of 3-(2-(substitutedbenzylidene)hydrazinyl)-N-(substituted benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-propanamides were synthesized with aromatic hydrophobic aryl ring (A), NH-C=O as hydrogen bonding domain (HBD), nitrogen atom as electron donor (D), and phenyl as distal aryl ring (C). Synthesized compounds were characterized by FTIR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, mass spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Preliminary in vivo anticonvulsant screening (phase I) was performed by two most adopted seizure models, maximal electroshock seizure (MES) and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ). Based on anticonvulsant screening results, two compounds, 5h and 5p, were found to be most active; they exhibited activity comparable to standard drugs phenytoin (PHY) and carbamazepine (CBZ). These active compounds were subjected to phase II and phase III screening, where they displayed much higher protecti...
