Synthesis and activities of 4-(2-acetoxybenzoylamino) butyramide heterocyclic compounds / 药学学报

ABSTRACT

It has been demonstrated by our previous research that 4-(2-acetoxybenzoylamino) butyramide derivatives exhibited good antiepileptic activities. In this paper, to explore the SAR and improve the antiepileptic activities of these derivatives, a series of novel 4-(2-acetoxybenzoylamino) butyramide heterocyclic compounds (5a-5n) were synthesized and biologically evaluated. Their structures were confirmed by 1H MNR, ESI-MS and elemental analysis. Pharmacological test in vivo showed that target compounds (5f, 5i-5n) displayed strong antiepileptic activities on 4-AP induced epilepsy in mice with ED50 values ranging from 0.3137 to 0.3604 mmol x kg(-1).
