Abstract
A series of 2-[2-(substituted)hydrazinyl]-1,3-benzothiazole and 2-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-ylsulfanyl)-N′-(substituted)acetohydrazide were designed and synthesized keeping in view the structural requirement of pharmacophore and evaluated for anticonvulsant activity and neurotoxicity. The anticonvulsant activity of the titled compounds was assessed using the 6 Hz psychomotor seizure test. The most active compound of the series was 2-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-ylsulfanyl)-N′-[4-(4-bromophenoxy)benzylidene]acetohydrazide BT 15, which showed 75% protection (3/4, 1.0 h) and 50% protection (2/4, 0.5 h) at a dose of 100 mg/kg in mice. A computational study was carried out for calculation of pharmacophore pattern and prediction of pharmacokinetic properties. Titled compounds have also exhibited good binding properties with epilepsy molecular targets such as GABA (A) alpha-1, glutamate, GABA (A) delta receptors and Na/H exchanger, in Lamarckian genetic algorithm-based flexible docking studies.
