Synthesis and anticonvulsant activity of N-(benzoylalkyl)imidazoles and N-(.omega.-phenyl-.omega.-hydroxyalkyl)imidazoles
摘要:
A novel series of N-(benzoylalkyl)imidazoles and N-(omega-phenyl-omega-hydroxyalkyl)imidazoles was synthesized and evaluated for anticonvulsant activity in mice against maximal electroshock induced seizures. Some of the compounds showed an activity comparable to or better than phenytoin and phenobarbital. The N-[beta-[4-(beta-phenylethyl)phenyl]-beta-hydroxyethyl]imidazole (38) was selected for further studies; preclinical toxicology and additional efficacy evaluations are in progress. Structure-activity relationships are discussed.

D (I),
compositions comprising an effective amount of said compounds either alone or in combination with other chemotherapeutic agents, and methods useful for treating or preventing cancer and for inhibiting tumour tissue growth. These compounds attenuate the oxidative damage associated with increased heme-oxygenase activity and can reduce cell proliferation in transformed cells. In addition, the described compounds and compositions are useful as neuroprotectants and for treating or preventing neurodegenerative disorders and other diseases of the central nervous system.
