Abstract: | In this study, we synthesized some natural and semi-synthetic prenyloxyphenylpropanoids (e.g., acetophenones, benzoic and cinnamic acids, chalcones, and coumarins), and we assessed their in vivo neuroprotective activity, using the mouse maximal electroshock-induced seizure model (MES test). 7-Isopentenyloxycoumarin and (2E)-3-{4-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)oxy]phenyl}prop-2-enoic acid, administered ip at a dose of 300 mg/kg, suppressed MES-induced seizures in mice in a time- and dose-dependent manner. |
