Abstract
New imidazolidindiones and tetra-substituted imidazole derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for the anticonvulsant activity through pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced seizures and maximal electroshock (MES) tests using valproate sodium and phenytoin sodium as reference drugs, respectively. Most of the target compounds showed excellent activity against pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced seizures with fair to no-activity against MES. Compounds 3d, 4e, 11b, and 11e showed higher activity (120%) than that of valproate sodium in PTZ model. Almost all compounds showed no neurotoxicity, as indicated by the rotarod test. Estimation of physicochemical properties and pharmacokinetic profiles of the target compounds were studied. The chemical structures of the target compounds were characterized by different spectrometric methods and elemental analysis.
