Synthesis and antiseizure activity of (E)-1,2-diarylethylidenehydrazine carboximidamides against tonic-clonic seizures: an intracerebroventricular and electrophysiological study
摘要:
A series of (E)-1,2-diarylethylidenehydrazine carboximidamides2a-jwere synthesized and characterized by NOESY experiment as anticonvulsant agents and their antiseizure activity was evaluated by intracerebroventricular administration of compounds. Most of the compounds had significant protection against tonic-clonic seizures and2awas found to be as equipotent as carbamazepine in seizures control. In order to find their anticonvulsant mechanism of action,2awas subjected to further electrophysiological studies using patch-clamp technique. The results confirmed that this compound is neither a voltage-gated sodium channel blocker nor a NMDA/AMPA antagonist. Although2adid not show any direct GABA agonistic activity, it could decrease EPSP and increase IPSP frequency without any change in amplitude. Finally, the results indicated most likely a presynaptic GABA-mediated mechanism of2afor its antiseizure activity such as inhibition of the GABA-T which was validated by molecular docking.
