title: Convulsive properties of N-(3,5-dimethoxy-4-propoxyphenyl-ethyl) aziridine and their influencing by diazepam and triazolam.
abstract: Convulsive activity of N-(3,5-dimethoxy-4-propoxy-phenyl-ethyl)-aziridine (FAZ-4), a newly synthetized aziridine compound was studied in rats. There is a lack of tonic component of major paroxysm in comparison with the classical convulsive agent pentylenetetrazol. This effect of FAZ-4 is probably due to the forebrain mechanism without the midbrain involvement. Both anticonvulsants tested suppressed seizures in a different manner, however triazolam exerted stronger anticonvulsive activity than the same dose of diazepam did.
