anticonvulsant activity has been demonstrated for a large number of 1-(naphthylalkyl)-1H-imidazoles containing a variety of functional groups in the alkylene bridge. The presence of a small oxygen function in the bridge, in general, confers a high therapeutic index between anticonvulsant and depressant activity. Clinical expectations are discussed for 1-(2-naphthoylmethyl)imidazole hydrochloride (5), which is
Compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein Z is C.sub.1 and C.sub.4 alkoxymethylene, hydroxymethylene, esterified hydroxymethylene, carbonyl, or ketal-protected carbonyl, and the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof, are useful as anticonvulsant and anti-secretory agents.
