Synthesis, physicochemical and anticonvulsant properties of N-benzyl and N-aminophenyl derivatives of 2-azaspiro[4.4]nonane and [4.5]decane-1,3-dione. Part I.

To continue our systematic SAR studies, two series of N-benzyl- (X=CH2) and N-aminophenyl- (X=NH) derivatives of 2-azaspiro[4.4]nonane (1a-1j) and 2-azaspiro[4.5]decane-1,3-dione (2a-2j) were synthesized, and evaluated in maximum electroshock seizure (MES), subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (sc.
