title: Synthesis of N-aryl-N'-heteroaryl-substituted urea and thiourea derivatives and evaluation of their anticonvulsant activity.
abstract: Starting from amino(di)azines and 2-chloro-6-methyliso(thio)cyanate a series of aryl-substituted urea and thiourea derivatives was prepared and screened as potential antiepileptics. Among the new derivatives tested, only 2b and 3c exhibited adequate anticonvulsant effects, whereas 3d and 4d were found to be convulsants per se.
