A series of 8-substituted quinolines were synthesized and tested against seizures induced by maximal electro shock (MES), pentylenetetrazole (scMet) and antihypertensive activities. Neurologic deficit was evaluated by the rotarod test. Among the newly synthesized derivatives, several compounds with a 2-hydroxypropyloxyquinoline moiety displayed excellent anticonvulsant and antihypertensive activities.

The compounds were tested in vivo for the anticonvulsant activity. The compound which have maximum protection against MES induced seizures is 1-[3-(2-aminophenylamino)-2-hydroxypropyl)-1,2-dihydro-pyridazine-3,6-dione 4h (ED(50)=44.
