title: Potential long-acting anticonvulsants. 2. Synthesis and activity of succinimides containing an alkylating group on nitrogen or at the 3 position.
abstract: The synthesis of succinimide derivatives in which alkylating groups have been attached to the imide nitrogen or to the 3 position of the ring is described. The synthesis of one bis-alkylating derivative 19 is also described. The alkylating groups used were (a) alpha-haloacetyl, (b) alpha-haloacetamido, (c) maleamyl, and (d) maleimido. These compounds were prepared as potential long-acting anticonvulsants. None of the compounds showed activity against maximal electroshock or metrazole-induced seizures.
