title: Monoamine oxidase and pyruvate oxidase inhibitory properties of some newer thiosemicarbazones and their anticonvulsant activity.
abstract: Seventeen 4-[3-(N-cyclohexylamino)propyl]-1-substituted-3-thiosemicarbazones were synthesized and evaluated for their ability to inhibit rat brain monoamine oxidase (MAO) and pyruvate oxidase in vitro. Anticonvulsant activity exhibited by these thiosemicarbazones (100 mg/kg,i.p.) against pentylenetetrazol-induced seizures ranged from 10-50%.
