    New hydrazides and thiosemicarbazides derived from ethylenedioxythiophene as potential anticonvulsants
    (2010) Kulandasamy, R.; Vasudeva Adhikari, A.V.; Taranalli, A.; Venkataswamy, T.
    A series of ethyl 7-({2-[(substituted)carbonyl]hydrazino}carbonyl)-2,3- dihydrothieno [3,4-b][1,4]dioxine-5-carboxylates (5-13) and ethyl 7-{[({2-[(substituted)carbonyl]hydra-zino}carbonothioyl)amino]carbonyl}-2, 3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxine-5-carboxy-lates (15-20) were synthesized in good yield by condensing ethyl-7-(chlorocarbonyl)-2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4] dioxine-5-carboxylate (4) with suitable hydrazides. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized using FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass spectroscopy, and elemental analyses. The anticonvulsant activity of all the title compounds was investigated against maximal electroshock-induced seizures (MES) and pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced convulsion models. None of the compounds showed toxicity at the maximum dose of 2000 mg/kg. Almost all the compounds showed protection in flexion and extension stage against induced convulsion. Among them, naphthyloxy-substituted derivatives exhibited very good response against induced seizures. Supplemental materials are available for this article.

    Design and Synthesis of New Amides and Thioamides Derived from 3,4-Ethylenedioxythiophene as Potential Anticonvulsants
    (2010) Kulandasamy, R.; Vasudeva Adhikari, A.V.; Stables, J.P.
    Five new series of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene derivatives carrying important pharamacophores, viz., amide, ester, ether and active secondary aryl moieties have been designed and synthesized through multistep reactions starting from thiodiglycolic ester and diethyl oxalate. They have been characterized by elemental and spectral data. All the target compounds have been screened for their anticonvulsant activity at three different models viz. maximal electroshock (MES), subcutaneous metrazole (scMET), and 6 Hz screen and evaluated for their neurotoxicity in rotorod model. Compound 6a emerged as lead with no neurotoxicity. All the five series of compounds are safe in the toxicity studies at the maximum dose of 300 mg/kg of body weight. Amongst the tested compounds, the ester pharmacophore with thioamide fragment has showed better activity than the other analogs.
