Synthesis of furochromone, 2-phenylchromone (flavone) and benzofuran derivatives substituted with thiosemicarbazide or thiazolidin-4-one moieties were accomplished. All the newly synthesized compounds were tested for their anticonvulsant activity in both subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole induced
BACKGROUND
Benzofurans are heterocyclic compounds with neurotropic activity. Some have been developed for the treatment of acute and degenerative neuronal injuries.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the in silico binding of some promising benzofurans on the GABA receptors, and the in vivo neurotropic activity
N-methyl-5-(2 aminopropyl)benzofuran (5-MAPB) is a novel psychoactive benzofuran, created by N-methylation of 5-(2-aminopropyl)benzofuran (5-APB), which shares structural features with methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA). To our knowledge, no case of 5-MAPB-related toxicity has been published in
A series of N-(2-(benzoyl/4-chlorobenzoyl)-benzofuran- 3-yl)-2-(substituted)-acetamide derivatives (4a-l, 5a-l) was synthesized in good yield. All synthesized compounds were in agreement with elemental and spectral data. The anticonvulsant activity of all synthesized compounds was assessed against
Thirteen new N-1',N-3'-disubstituted-2'H,3H,5'H-spiro-(2-benzofuran-1,4'-imidazolidine)-2',3,5'-triones were synthesized and their pharmacological activity determined with the objective to better understand their SAR for anticonvulsant activity. The anticonvulsant effects of these compounds were
The emergence of a large number of new psychoactive substances (NPSs) in recent years poses a serious problem to clinical and forensic toxicologists. Here we report a patient who administrated ca. 500mg of 3-MMC (3-methyl-N-methylcathinone) and 400mg of 5-APB (5-(2-aminopropyl)benzofuran) in
In a seizure of German custom authorities four N-(ortho-methoxybenzyl)amines with amphetamine partial structure were obtained as pure compounds: N-(ortho-methoxybenzyl)-3,4-dimethoxyamphetamine (3,4-DMA-NBOMe (1)), N-(ortho-methoxybenzyl)-4-ethylamphetamine (4-EA-NBOMe (2)),
BACKGROUND
New psychoactive substances (NPSs) are rapidly spreading worldwide, and forensic laboratories are often requested to identify new substances for which no reference standards or analytical data are available. This article describes an analytical approach that was adopted in Italy by a few
K(+) channels are key modulators of neuronal excitability, and mutations in certain types of these channels are known to cause epileptic seizures. Activation of K(+) channels is reported to suppress epileptic discharge; however, the types of K(+)-channel openers that are most effective as
Sixteen phenethylamines are now included in Schedules I and II of the United Nations 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances. Most of the ring-substituted compounds are in Schedule I, whereas 2C-B, amphetamine, and methamphetamine are listed in Schedule II. Substances in Schedule IV (e.g.
An index of fatal toxicity for new psychoactive substances has been developed based solely on information provided on death certificates. An updated index of fatal toxicity (Tf), as first described in 2010, was calculated based on the ratio of deaths to prevalence and seizures for the original five
The diffusion of New Psychoactive Substances (NPS) in the illicit drug market is a worldwide problem. The aim of the study is to describe the qualitative distribution of drugs of abuse in seized materials confiscated in the Italian territory over the last two years. Between 2013 and 2015 162
We evaluated the effects of beraprost Na (Sodium (+-)-(1R*,2R*, 3aS*,8bS*)-2,3,3a,8b-tetrahydro-2-hydroxy-1-[(E)-(3S*)-3- hyd roxy-4-methyl-1- octen-6-ynyl]-1H-cyclopenta[b]benzofuran-5-butylate, beraprost), a stable and orally active prostacyclin (PGI2) analog with potent antiplatelet and
Novel psychoactive substances are newly used designer drugs ("internet drugs", "research chemicals", "legal highs") potentially posing similar health risks to classic illicit substances. Chemically, many novel psychoactive substances can be classified as phenethylamines, amphetamines, synthetic
