A novel series of coumarin-1,2,4-oxadiazole hybrids were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as anticonvulsantagents. The title compounds were easily synthesized from reaction of appropriate coumarins and 3-aryl-5-(chloromethyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives. In vivo anticonvulsant activity of the synthesized compounds were determined using pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)- and maximal electroshock (MES)-induced
