This study aimed to design new hybrid compounds with imidazolidin-2,4-dione and morpholine rings as broad spectrum anticonvulsants. To achieve this goal, all compounds were evaluated in animal seizure models, namely the maximal electroshock (MES), the subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ), and selected in the 6 Hz (32 mA) tests. The most promising compound, 5-isopropyl-3-(morpholinomethyl)-5-phenylimidazolidine-2,4-dione (19), demonstrated broader anticonvulsant activity than phenytoin or levetiracetam, with ED50 of 26.
