Cannabidiol (CBD) exhibits anticonvulsant activity in experimental animals and in man. As part of a structure-activity study, analogs were prepared wherein the terpene unit, the aryl unit, and/or the side chain were modified. Thus, several pinenyl and carenyl derivatives, aryl ethers and acetates, and a variety of 1",1"-dialkylhexyl and 1",1"-dialkylheptyl analogs were synthesized. The compounds were evaluated for anti-convulsant activity in seizure susceptible (AGS) rats and for neurotoxicity in the rat rotorod (ROT) test. Comparisons of stereoisomers of CBD and several analogs revealed a general lack of stereoselectivity for anticonvulsant and other CNS properties of this class of compounds.

A series of twenty two (E)-N-cinnamoyl aminoalkanols derivatives monosubstituted in phenyl ring with 4-Cl, 4-CH or 2-CH was designed, synthesized and evaluated for anticonvulsant activity in rodent models of seizures: maximal electroshock (MES) test, subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ) test, and 6-Hz test. There were identified three most active compounds: S-(2E)-N-(1-hydroxypropan-2-yl)-3-(2-methylphenyl)prop-2-enamide (5) (ED MES=42.56, ED scPTZ=58.

This work concerns the design and synthesis of novel, substituted 5-alkoxythieno[2,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimidine derivatives 5a-p prepared from 3-amino-2-thiophenecarboxylic acid methyl ester. The final compounds were screened for their in vivo anticonvulsant activity using maximal electroshock (MES) and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ) tests. Neurotoxicity (NT) was tested using a rotarod test.

Theoretical models to virtual screening and rational design of anticonvulsant compounds based on a topological substructural molecular design (TOSS-MODE) approach are developed. These models, developed on the basis of data sets of great structural variability, permit the classification of compounds as active/inactive anticonvulsants and predict the quantitative anticonvulsant potency of such compounds. The classification model is applied to a virtual screening of anticonvulsant compounds by analyzing a data set of molecules reported in the literature.

Valproic acid and several structurally related carboxylic acids and tetrazole analogues have been shown to antagonize seizures induced by pentylenetetrazole in mice. To investigate the influence of the alkyl substituents on the anticonvulsant activity, the octanol-water partition coefficients and relative pKa values were determined. Within the series of active carboxylic acids, there was a good correlation between the anticonvulsant activity and the partition coefficient (r = 0.
