benzaldehyde/seizures

Fifteen new (2/4-substituted)benzaldehyde (2-oxobenzothiazolin-3-yl)acetohydrazones were synthesized and their structures were elucidated by NMR and elemental analysis. Their anticonvulsant activity was tested by a pentylenetetrazole induced seizure test. Compounds 4e and 4h were found to be the

The convulsions of approximately 25% of epileptics are inadequately controlled by currently available medication; therefore the preparation of new antiepileptic drugs is of great interest. Aryl semicarbazones can be considered a new class of compounds presenting anticonvulsant activity. In addition,

Clandestine synthesis of methamphetamine in Australia has predominantly started from pseudoephedrine extracted from over the counter cold and flu medications. However, recently introduced restrictions on the sale of these products have made pseudoephedrine much more difficult to obtain. As a result

The effects of toluene on the sensitivity to seizures induced by aminophylline were investigated. Mice were pretreated with an ip injection of corn oil or toluene (100-500 mg/kg) followed by a timed intravenous infusion of aminophylline at various time intervals to assess the seizure thresholds and

Benzaldehyde benzenesulphonamide was shown to have comparable anticonvulsant activity to valproic acid in the maximal electroshock seizure test. Molecular modification of this compound was developed principally to explore whether a correlation between planarity and anticonvulsant activity could be

Many derivatives of heterocyclic compounds containing a sulfonamide thiazole moiety were synthesized through the reaction of 2-(cyano or chloro)-N-(4-(N-thiazol-2-ylsulfamoyl)phenyl)acetamide with isocyanate followed by halogenated compounds, arylidene, 2-hydroxy benzaldehydes, active methylene

A novel series of N'-{5-[(1H-indol-3-ylmethyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl}-N4-(4-substituted benzaldehyde)-semicarbazones, N1-{5-[(1H-indol-3-ylmethyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl}-N4-[1-(4-substituted phenyl)ethanone]-semicarbazones and N1-{5-[(1H-indol-3-ylmethyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl}-N4-[1-(4-substituted

It is well known that some hydrazone derivatives of both 2-oxobenzoxazoline and 2-oxobenzothiazoline exhibit potent anticonvulsant activity. In order to investigate the effects of structural modifications on the biological properties, 14 new hydrazones of 5-chloro-2(3H)-benzox-azolinone-3-acetyl

A series of novel N(1)-[5-(4-substituted phenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl]-N(4)-(4-substituted benzaldehyde)-semicarbazone 1-12, N(1)-[5-(4-substituted phenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl]-N(4)-[1-(4-substituted phenyl)ethanone]-semicarbazone 13-16, and N(1)-[5-(4-substituted

The headspace profiles of eleven methamphetamine (MA) samples have been analyzed using solid-phase microextraction/gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME/GC-MS). Nine of the eleven are illicit MA seizures from the Southwest U.S. border. One sample is methamphetamine base synthesized in the Drug

BACKGROUND Mannich bases are known to be an important pharmacophore or bioactive leads in the synthesis of various potential agents that have a variety of therapeutic activities like anticancer, antipsychotic, anticonvulsant, antimalarial, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and so forth. Thus, in the

A novel series of 1,2,3-triazolo-benzodiazepine derivatives 6a-o has been synthesized and evaluated in vivo for their anticonvulsant activities using by pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)- and maximal electroshock (MES)-induced seizures in mice. The synthetic approach started with diazotizing 2-aminobenzoic

BACKGROUND Petiveria alliacea L. commonly grows in the tropical regions of the Americas such as the Amazon forest, Central America, Caribbean islands and Mexico, as well as specific regions of Africa. Popularly known by several different names including 'mucuracaá', 'guiné' and 'pipi', P. alliacea

Recent U.S. legislation permitting recreational use of marijuana in certain states brings the use of marijuana odor as probable cause for search and seizure to the forefront of forensic science, once again. This study showed the use of solid-phase microextraction with multidimensional gas

A series of thiosemicarbazones of halogen substituted benzaldehydes, benzophenone and acetophenone were synthesized using an appropriate synthetic route and characterized by thin layer chromatography and spectral analysis. The anticonvulsant activity of synthesized compounds was established in three
