Pharmacological evaluation of some new 1-substituted-4-hydroxy-phthalazines.

In the present study, a series of 1-substituted-4-hydroxyphthalazines were synthesized and characterized by IR, 1H-NMR and Elemental analysis. The compounds were assayed against seizures induced by maximal electroshock (MES) and pentylenetetrazole (scMet). Neurologic deficit was evaluated by the rotarod test.
