Abstract

The combination of different heterocyclic rings to form a multifunctional compound is a new approach to get the potent and selective compounds, which can act as antiepileptic drugs. In this study we designed and synthesized the hybrid of the coumarin ring with sulfonamide moiety. Coumarin sulfonamide hybrids (CS1-CS7) were synthesized by Knoevenagel condensation of methyl anilinosulfonyl acetate with substituted salicyaldehyde in the presence of catalytic base. The synthesized hybrid compounds were characterized by means of mass, 1H & 13C NMR and FTIR spectroscopy, moreover antiepileptic activity was screened through seizure model of epilepsy using pentylenetetrazole and maximal electroshock. According to results, compound CS-2 remained to be highest potent and presented significant protection at 60 mg/kg in both the seizure models. Furthermore, compound CS-2 was also evaluated for biochemical and a histopathological study in which no significant results were obtained. In addition to former activities, compound CS-2 was also examined for liver toxicity.
