structurally related to model compound 5 (2-[(4-aminophenyl)-(4-methylsemicarbazono)-methyl]-4,5-methylenedioxyphenylaceti c acid methyl ester), were synthesized and tested as anticonvulsantagents in DBA/2mice against sound-induced seizures. The new compounds possess anticonvulsant properties lower than those of prototype 5 but, in some instances, comparable to that of GYKI52466, a well-known noncompetitive

A series of 1,3-benzodioxoles (5-19) was synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antitumor activity against human tumor cell lines. Some derivatives exhibited tumor growth inhibition activity. In particular, 6-(4-aminobenzoyl)-1,3-benzodioxole-5-acetic acid methyl ester 8, the most active compound of the series, possesses a significant growth inhibitory activity on 52 cell lines at concentrations ranging from 10(-7) to 10(-5) M.

In this paper, we describe the synthesis of a series of novel substituted 4-aryl-6,7-methylenedioxyphthalazin-1(2H)-ones. The anticonvulsant activity of these compounds against audiogenic seizures was evaluated in DBA/2 mice after intraperitoneal (ip) injection. Most of these derivatives are more active than 1-(4-aminophenyl)-4-methyl-7,8-methylenedioxy-5H-2,3-benzodiazepine (1, GYKI 52466), a well-known
