title: Antidepressant and anticonvulsant activity of 1-(5-phenyl-4-oxazolin-2-yl)-4-substituted piperazines.
abstract: 1-(5-Phenyl-4-oxo-2-oxazolin-2-yl)-4-substituted cinnamoylpiperazines and 1-(5-phenyl-4-oxo-2-oxazolin-2-yl)-4-carbamoylpiperazine and derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for antidepressant activity in the mouse Dopa potentiation test. 1-(5-Phenyl-4-oxo-2-oxazolin-2-yl)-4-carbamoylpiperazine and derivatives were further evaluated for anticonvulsant activity in the audiogenic seizure test in mice.
