title: 1-(Fluorobenzyl)-4-amino-1H-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-c]pyridines: synthesis and anticonvulsant activity.
abstract: A series of (fluorobenzyl)triazolo[4,5-c]pyridines was synthesized and tested for activity against maximal electroshock-induced seizures in rodents. The most promising compound, 14 (BW 534U87), which is a carbon-nitrogen isoster of a purine anticonvulsant, has a profile in rodents that suggests 14 will be free of emesis and useful in the treatment of seizure disorders for which phenytoin is presently indicated.
