Design and synthesis of semicarbazones and their bio-isosteric analogues as potent anticonvulsants: the role of hydrogen bonding.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A series of p-nitrophenyl substituted semicarbazones (4a-c) and phenoxy/p-bromophenoxy acetyl hydrazones (8a-q) were synthesized and their anticonvulsant activity was screened against maximal electroshock seizure (MES), subcutaneous metrazole (ScMet) and subcutaneous strychnine (ScSty) tests. Compounds 4a-c with -NHCO- were found to be the most active in all these tests. These compounds were also active in the MES test after oral administration in rats. On the other hand, compounds 8a-q with -OCH2- were devoid of anticonvulsant activity. The studies revealed that the hydrogen bonding domain in semicarbazones, adjacent to the lipophilic aryl ring, is essential for the anticonvulsant activity.

During the last fifteen years, semicarbazones have been extensively investigated for their anticonvulsant properties. 4-(4-Flurophenoxy) benzaldehyde semicarbazone (C0102862, V102862) was discovered as a lead molecule and is being developed as a potent antiepileptic drug, with maximal electroshock (MES) ED₅₀ of i.p. 12.9 mg kg⁻¹. In MES (oral screen), this compound has a protective index (PI = ...

Background and Objective: Resistance to chloroquine (CQ) in Plasmodium falciparum malaria has become a major health concern in the developing countries. This problem has prompted investigators for finding alternative antimalarials that may be effective against resistant strains. Amodiaquine (AQ) is an antimalarial which is effective against many chloroquine-resistant strains of P. falciparum. H...
