title: Synthesis and anticonvulsant activity of 1-acetyl-5-arylidenyl-3-(2'-oxo/thiobarbiturinyl)-2-pyrazolines.
abstract: 1-(2'-Oxo/thiobarbiturinyl)-3-arylidenylchalcones (3-14) were synthesized by the condensation of different aromatic aldehydes with 5-acetyl-2-oxo/thiobarbituric acid (1 resp. 2) and various 1-acetyl-5-arylidenyl-3-(2'-oxo/thiobarbiturinyl)-2-pyrazolines (15-26) were synthesized by cyclisation of compounds 3-14 with hydrazine hydrate. The newly synthesized compounds showed anticonvulsant activity ranging from 40% to 90%. Compound 23 showed the maximum activity being more potent than the reference drug 1-acetyl-5-(P-methoxyphenyl)-3-(2'-thiobarbiturinyl)-2-pyrazoline.
