Abstract

Amino acid amides (AAA) were prepared and evaluated in seizure models. The AAA displayed moderate-to-excellent activity in the maximal electroshock seizure (MES) test and were devoid of activity in the subcutaneous Metrazol-induced (scMet) seizure test. The AAA anticonvulsant activity was neither strongly influenced by the C (2) substituent nor by the degree of terminal amine substitution. An in vitro metabolism study suggested that the ...
