A novel series of coumarin-1,2,4-oxadiazole hybrids were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as anticonvulsant agents. The title compounds were easily synthesized from reaction of appropriate coumarins and 3-aryl-5-(chloromethyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives. In vivo anticonvulsant activity of the synthesized compounds were determined using pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)- and maximal electroshock (MES)-induced seizures confirming that they were more effective against MES test than PTZ test. It should be noted that compounds 3b, 3c, and 3e showed the best activity in MES model which possessed drug-like properties with no neurotoxicity. Anticonvulsant activity of the most potent compound 3b was remarkably reduced after treatment with flumazenil which confirmed the participation of a benzodiazepine mechanism in the anticonvulsant activity. Also, docking study of compound 3b in the BZD-binding site of GABAA receptor confirmed possible binding of 3b to the BZD receptors.  相似文献

A new series of spiro[indene-1,2′-quinazolin]-4′(3′H)-one derivatives 4a–m were synthesized via a one-pot method and evaluated for anticonvulsant activities using pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) and maximal electroshock (MES)-induced seizures. Obtained results demonstrated that these compounds have not anticonvulsant activity in PTZ test while are active in the MES test. Among the synthesized compounds, the best anticonvulsant activity was obtained with compound 4h . This compound also was not neurotoxic. Given that the title new compounds have the pharmacophore requirement for benzodiazepine (BZD) receptor agonist, the most potent compound was assayed in vivo and in silico as BZD receptor agonist. After treatment with flumazenil as a standard BZD receptor antagonist, anticonvulsant activity of compound 4h decreased. Therefore, the involvement of BZD receptors in anticonvulsant activity of this compound confirmed. Furthermore, docking study of compound 4h in the BZD-binding site of GABAA receptor confirmed that this compound interacted with the important residues.  相似文献

The synthesis and anticonvulsant properties of new N-Mannich bases of [7,8-f]benzo-2-aza-spiro[4.5]decane-1,3-diones (5ah) and [7,8-f]benzo-1,3-diaza-spiro[4.5]decane-2,4-diones (7ah) were described. Initial anticonvulsant screening was performed using intraperitoneal (ip) maximal electroshock (MES) and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ) seizures tests. The neurotoxicity was determined applying the rotarod test. The majority of compounds were effective in the MES or/and scPTZ screen. The quantitative studies showed that several molecules were more potent than phenytoin, used as reference drug. Selected derivatives were screened in the 6-Hz test and also assessed for potential activity against nerve agents using the Pilocarpine Induced Status Prevention model. To explain the possible mechanism of anticonvulsant action, for chosen active derivatives, their influence on voltage-dependent Na+ channel were tested in vitro.  相似文献

Optimization of the previously reported benzothiazine analogue A led to the identification of compound 1, which showed anti-convulsant activity in two golden standard animal models of seizure, the MES and scPTZ models. Structure-activity relationship investigation of compound 1 revealed compounds 2, 6 and 19 as attractive anti-epileptic drug (AED) candidates with potent anticonvulsant effect in both the MES and scPTZ models. As these compounds are structurally different from existing AEDs, determination of their mechanism of actions could provide clues to understanding current therapy-resistant seizures. Moreover, these simple phenylsulfoneamide compounds could be good starting points for searching broad spectrum AEDs by such in vivo screening.  相似文献

Epilepsy is a group of neurological disorders characterized by recurrent seizures that disturbs about 60 million people worldwide. In this article, a novel series of 3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamic acid (TMCA) ester derivatives 135 were designed inspired from the traditional Chinese herb pair drugs Polygala tenuifolia and Gastrodia elata and synthesized followed by in vivo and in silico evaluation of their anticonvulsant potential. All the synthesized derivatives were biologically evaluated for their anticonvulsant potential using two acute model of seizures induced in mice, the maximal electroshock (MES) and sc-pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) models. Simultaneously, the motor impairment as a surrogate of acute neurotoxicity and in vitro screening of cytotoxicity against HepG-2 cells line were assessed through the rotarod performance test and CCK-8 assay, respectively. In addition, the physicochemical and pharmacokinetic parameters of the active compounds were determined. Our results showed that compounds 5, 7, 8, 13, 20, 25, 28, 30 and 32 exhibited preferable anticonvulsant activity in primary evaluation, with compounds 28 and 32 being the most promising anticonvulsant agents in according to results of subsequent pharmacology and toxicity evaluation. Additionally, the molecular modeling experiments predicted good binding interactions of part of the obtained active molecules with the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transferas. Therefore, it could be concluded that the synthesized derivatives 28 and 32 would represent useful lead compounds for further investigation in the development of anticonvulsant agents.  相似文献

Herewith, we report the design and synthesis of a series of N-(2-oxo-2((4-oxo-2-substituted thiazolidin-3yl)amino)ethyl) benzamide derivatives 7(aj) under microwave irradiation, based on four component pharmacophoric model to get structural prerequisite indispensable for anticonvulsant activity. The synthesized derivatives were investigated in maximal electroshock seizure (MES), subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (sc-PTZ) induced seizure and neurotoxicity screening. All the test compounds were administered at a dose of 30, 100 and 300 mg/kg body weight at the time interval of 0.5 h and 4 h. The compounds were also evaluated for behavioral activity and toxicity study. The compound 7h was found to be most active in MES model. The anticonvulsant screening data shows that 65% of the compounds were found active against MES model when compared to 35% sc-PTZ model. The computational parameter such as docking study, log P determination and ADME prediction were performed to exploit the results.  相似文献

A series of (E)-3-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-ylmethylene)pyrrolidin-2-one derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their anticonvulsant activities. In the preliminary screening, compounds 5, 6a6f and 6h6i showed promising anticonvulsant activities in MES model, while 6f and 6g represented protection against seizures at doses of 100?mg/kg and 0.5?h in scPTZ model. The most active compound 6d had a high-degree protection against the MES-induced seizures with ED50 value of 4.3?mg/kg and TD50 value of 160.9?mg/kg after intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection in mice, which provided 6d in a high protective index (TD50/ED50) of 37.4 comparable to the reference drugs. Beyond that, 6d has been selected and evaluated in vitro experiment to estimate the activation impact. Apparently, 6d clearly inhibits the Nav1.1 channel. Our preliminary results provide new insights for the development of small-molecule activators targeting specifically Nav1.1 channels to design potential drugs for treating epilepsy. The computational parameters, such as homology modeling, docking study, and ADME prediction, were made to exploit the results.  相似文献

Memory dysfunction associated with aging, neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders represents an increasing medical need. Advances in research exploring the biological mechanisms underlying learning and memory have opened new potential approaches for development of memory-enhancing therapies addressed to selective neuronal targets. In this work, we synthesized some derivatives with a pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]benzotriazine core to identify ligands on GABAA receptors subtype (benzodiazepine site on GABAA-receptor) endowed with the potential of enhancing cognition activity without the side effects usually associated with non-selective GABAA modulators. In fact, there is much evidence that GABAA-R (γ-aminobutyric acid, type A receptor) subtype ligands have relevance in learning and memory. In vitro and in vivo tests have been performed. Pharmacological data indicate that compounds 7, 13, 14 and 22 act as dual functional modulators of GABAA-Rs (promnemonic and anxiolytic agents) while only compounds 3 and 10 stand out as selectively displaying good antiamnesic and procognitive activity (1 and 3 mg/kg, respectively).  相似文献

This paper describes the synthesis of the library of 22 new 3-methyl- and 3-ethyl-3-methyl-2,5-dioxo-pyrrolidin-1-yl-acetamides as potential anticonvulsant agents. The maximal electroshock (MES) and the subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ) seizure models were used for screening all the compounds. The 6 Hz model of pharmacoresistant limbic seizures was applied for studying selected derivatives. Six amides were chosen for pharmacological characterization of their antinociceptive activity in the formalin model of tonic pain as well as local anesthetic activity was assessed in mice. The pharmacological data indicate on the broad spectra of activity across the preclinical seizure models. Compounds 10 (ED50 = 32.08 mg/kg, MES test) and 9 (ED50 = 40.34 mg/kg, scPTZ test) demonstrated the highest potency. These compounds displayed considerably better safety profiles than clinically relevant antiepileptic drugs phenytoin, ethosuximide, or valproic acid. Several molecules showed antinociceptive and local anesthetic properties. The in vitro radioligand binding studies demonstrated that the influence on the sodium and calcium channels may be one of the essential mechanisms of action.  相似文献

In our current research, a diverse effect of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors was studied on BALB-C mice by using pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) seizure model. A series of carboxamide analogs (4a–4i) have been synthesized via Suzuki coupling reaction in moderate to good yields (35–84%). To study the efficacy of the synthesized compounds against AD, in-vitro inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) was performed. A number of compounds showed inhibition in low micromolar range. Subsequently, these compounds were evaluated for anticonvulsive effects in BALB-C mice by using pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) seizure model. The compound 4e displayed potential anticonvulsive effect and displayed 50% and 80% protection from mortality at the dose of 10 mg/kg, and 30 mg/kg respectively. The compound 4h showed some protection (33%) from mortality at 10 mg/kg and was not further explored based on non-significant delay in onset of myoclonic seizures. While, other compounds from the series did not show any anticonvulsive activity. To rationalize the observed biological activity, we performed docking studies against AChE and BChE targets. To explore the rationale of the mechanism of in-vivo anticonvulsant activity, docking studies were performed on GABAergic receptors. Moreover, in order to establish a relationship between physiochemical data of the synthesized compounds and their in-vivo performance, we employed in-silico pharmacokinetic predictions. Our in-silico predictions suggest that the plasma protein binding, low to moderate blood brain barrier penetration and low solubility are the main attributes of low in-vivo performance.  相似文献

A series of new xanthone derivatives with piperazine moiety [17] was synthesized and evaluated for their pharmacological properties. They were subject to binding assays for α1 and β1 adrenergic as well as 5-HT1A, 5-HT6 and 5-HT7b serotoninergic receptors. Five of the tested compounds were also evaluated for their anticonvulsant properties. The compound 3a 3-methoxy-5-{[4-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazin-1-yl]methyl}-9H-xanthen-9-one hydrochloride exhibited significantly higher affinity for serotoninergic 5-HT1A receptors (Ki = 24 nM) than other substances. In terms of anticonvulsant activity, 6-methoxy-2-{[4-(benzyl)piperazin-1-yl]methyl}-9H-xanthen-9-one (5) proved best properties. Its ED50 determined in maximal electroshock (MES) seizure assay was 105 mg/kg b.w. (rats, p.o.). Combining of xanthone with piperazine moiety resulted in obtaining of compounds with increased bioavailability after oral administration.  相似文献

Five new series of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines carrying biologically active pyrazoline (4ae), cyanopyridone (5a, b), cyanopyridine (6af), 2-aminopyrimidine (7af) and pyrimidine-2-thione (8ad) systems were designed and synthesized as prominent anticonvulsant agents. The target compounds were screened for their in vivo anticonvulsant activity following maximal electroshock (MES) and subcutaneous pentylene tetrazole (scPTZ) methods at a small test dose of 10 mg/kg. Further, Rotarod toxicity method was used to study the toxicity profile of selected compounds. Compounds 4b, 5a, 5b, 6a, 7e and 8d possessing 4-fluorophenyl substituent at 2nd position of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine ring displayed potent anticonvulsant activity without displaying any toxicity. Enhanced activity profile was observed for new compounds in PTZ method over MES method.  相似文献

A comparison between compounds with pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine structure (series 4–6) and pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine core (series 9) as ligands at GABAA-receptor subtype, was evaluated. Moreover, for pyrazolotriazine derivatives having binding recognition, the interaction on recombinant rat α(1–3,5) GABAA receptor subtypes, was performed. Among these latter, emerge compounds 9c, 9k, 9l, 9m and 9n as α1-selective and 9h as α2-selective ligands.  相似文献

With the aim of finding new anticonvulsant drugs, new 6-substituted-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-a] (tetrazolo[5,1-a]) phthalazine derivatives (1–34) have been designed and synthesized. All the compounds were evaluated for their anticonvulsant activities using the maximal electroshock test (MES). Most of the synthesized compounds exhibited potent anticonvulsant activities in the MES. The most promising compound 14 showed significant anticonvulsant activity in MES test with ED50 value of 9.3 mg/kg. It displayed a wide margin of safety with protective index much higher than the standard drug Carbamazepine. And the potency of compound 14 against seizures induced by Pentylenetetrazole, Isoniazid, Thiosemicarbazide and 3-Mercaptopropionic acid in the chemical-induced seizure tests suggested that compound 14 displayed wide spectrum of activity in several models.  相似文献

Novel thiosemicarbazide derivatives were synthesised and evaluated for their anticonvulsant activity and neurotoxicity. Anticonvulsant activity was done for grand mal and petit mal types of epilepsies by maximal electroshock (MES) and pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) induced convulsions methods respectively. Rotarod test was done to determine neurotoxicity. Amongst synthesised compounds, N-(4-bromophenyl)2-[(2-phenylhydrazinyl) carbonothioyl] hydrazinecarbothioamide (5e) is a broad-spectrum anticonvulsant agent since it was active in both (MES) and (PTZ) induced seizure models with no neurotoxicity and N,N-(bis(chlorophenyl)hydrazine-1,2-dicarbothoamide (5g) acts as a selective agent for grand mal epilepsy.  相似文献

Aim of the study was evaluation of anxiolytic, antidepressant, anticonvulsant and analgesic activity in a series of a consistent group of compounds. A series of eleven new N-(phenoxyalkyl)- or N-{2-[2-(phenoxy)ethoxy]ethyl}piperazine derivatives has been obtained. Their affinity towards 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A, 5-HT6, 5-HT7, D2 and α1 receptors has been assessed, and then functional assays were performed. The compounds were evaluated in mice, i.p. for their antidepressant-like (forced swim test), locomotor, anxiolytic-like (four-plate test) activities as well as – at higher doses – for anticonvulsant potential (MES) and neurotoxicity (rotarod). Two compounds (3, 6) were also evaluated for their analgesic activity in neuropathic pain models (streptozocin test, oxaliplatin test) and they were found active against allodynia in diabetic neuropathic pain at 30?mg/kg. Among the compounds, anxiolytic-like, anticonvulsant or analgesic activity was observed but antidepressant-like activity was not. One of the two most interesting compounds is 1-{2-[2-(2,4,6-trimethylphenoxy)ethoxy]ethyl}-4-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazine dihydrochloride (9), exhibiting anxiolytic and anticonvulsant activity in mice, i.p. 30 min after administration (at 2.5?mg/kg and ED50?=?26.33?mg/kg, respectively), which can be justified by the receptor profile: 5-HT1A Ki?=?5?nM (antagonist), 5-HT7 Ki?=?70?nM, α1 Ki?=?15?nM, D2 Ki?=?189?nM (antagonist). Another interesting compound is 1-[3-(2,4,6-trimethylphenoxy)propyl]-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)piperazine dihydrochloride (3), exhibiting anxiolytic, anticonvulsant and antiallodynic activity in mice, i.p., 30?min after administration (at 10?mg/kg, ED50?=?23.50?mg/kg, at 30?mg/kg, respectively), which can be related with 5-HT1A weak antagonism (Ki?=?146?nM), or other possible mechanism of action, not evaluated within presented study. Additionally, for the most active compound in the four-plate test (7), molecular modeling was performed (docking to receptors 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A, 5-HT7, D2 and α1A).  相似文献

The aim of this study was to design and synthesize two series of N-Mannich bases with imidazolidine-2,4-dione core as a potential anticonvulsant with reduced toxicity and broad antiseizure activity. Preliminary screening revealed that the majority of synthesized compounds were effective in the maximal electroshock seizure (MES) and/or subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ) test. The most active in vivo compound, 18 (3-((4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl)-5,5-diphenylimidazolidine-2,4-dione), exhibited an ED50 value comparable to that of phenytoin in the MES test (38.5 mg/kg vs 28.1 mg/kg), and more importantly, it showed four times higher potency than phenytoin in the 6 Hz test (12.2 mg/kg vs > 60 mg/kg). Additionally, 18 exhibited antiallodynic properties in the von Frey test in neuropathic (oxaliplatin-treated) mice. Compound 18 also demonstrated a broader spectrum of anticonvulsant activity than phenytoin and showed statistically significant antinociceptive properties in selected models of chronic pain.  相似文献

In the present study, a series of newer benzothiazole derivatives containing thiazolidin-4-one (5a-g) and azetidin-2-one (6a-g), were synthesized by the cyclization of benzothiazolyl arylidene hydrazine carboxamide derivatives with thioglycolic acid and chloroacetyl chloride, respectively. Results of in vivo anticonvulsant screening revealed that compounds having 2,4-dicholoro (5c and 6c) and 4-nitro substituent (5g) at the phenyl ring have promising anticonvulsant activities without any neurotoxicity. Selected compounds were also evaluated for their in vitro GABA AT inhibition. The results indicated that compound 5c (IC50 15.26 μM) exhibited excellent activity as compared to the standard drug vigabatrin (IC50 39.72 μM) suggesting the potential of these benzothiazole analogues as new anticonvulsant agents.  相似文献

In this paper, we report the synthesis of 2-[(6-substituted benzo[d]thiazol-2-ylcarbamoyl)methyl]-1-(4-substituted phenyl)isothiourea derivatives (4a-y) carrying active pharmacophores essential for anticonvulsant activity. The anticonvulsant activity was evaluated in vivo by maximal electroshock (MES) test and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ) test in mice. Most of the compounds showed promising anticonvulsant activity. The most active compounds 4b and 4q were found active in both MES and scPTZ models, without signs of neurotoxicity. Compound 4b showed the moderate change in SGOT and alkaline phosphatase level as compared to control. Compounds 4b and 4w were also found to elevate GABA levels in the olfactory lobe, mid brain, medulla oblongata and cerebellum regions of rat brain. In molecular docking study, the title compounds exhibited good binding properties with epilepsy molecular targets such as GABA-A. Structure-activity relationships are also elaborated along with the analysis of lipophilicity. The results suggested that compound 4b is likely to have varied mechanisms of action including voltage-gated ion channel inhibition and modulating GABAergic action.  相似文献

Even after considerable advances in the field of epilepsy treatment, convulsions are inefficiently controlled by standard drug therapy. Herein, a series of pyrimidine-carbothioamide derivatives 4(a-t) was designed as anticonvulsant agents by doing some important structural modifications in well-known anticonvulsant drugs. Two classical animal models were used for the in vivo anticonvulsant screening, maximum electroshock seizure (MES) and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ) models; followed by motor impairment study by rotarod method. The most active compound 4g effectively suppressed seizure effect in both the animal models with median doses of 15.6 mg/kg (MES ED50), 278.4 mg/kg (scPTZ ED50) and 534.4 mg/kg (TD50) with no sign of neurotoxicity. Furthermore, in vitro GABA-AT enzyme activity assay of 4g showed inhibitory potency (IC50) of 12.23 μM. The docking study also favored the animal studies.  相似文献
