A series of 1-substituted 2-[(4-aryl)-methyl]-4,5-methylenedioxybenzene derivatives (13-25), structurally related to model compound 5 (2-[(4-aminophenyl)-(4-methylsemicarbazono)-methyl]-4,5-methylenedioxyphenylacetic acid methyl ester), were synthesized and tested as anticonvulsant agents in DBA/2 mice against sound-induced seizures. The new compounds possess anticonvulsant properties lower than those of prototype 5 but, in some instances, comparable to that of GYKI 52466, a well-known noncompetitive AMPA receptor antagonist.
