title: Anticonvulsant activity of benzylamides of some amino acids and heterocyclic acids.
abstract: A series of new potential anticonvulsants have been synthesized. They are N-methyl benzyl-amides of N-methyl Asp and N-methyl Glu (R and S), benzylamides of some heterocyclic acids and their N-oxides and benzylamides of two heteroalicyclic acids. The obtained compounds were evaluated in the Anticonvulsant Screening Project (ASP) of Antiepileptic Drug Development Program (ADDP) of NIH.
