title: Design, synthesis and anticonvulsive activities of potential prodrugs linked by two-carbon chain.
abstract: For the development of new anticonvulsive agents, GABAmimetics such as nipecotic acid, isonipecotic acid, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), gamma-vinyl GABA (vigabatrin) and valproic acid were covalently coupled through an ester bond by a two-carbon linker chain as potential pro-drugs and evaluated for their anticonvulsive activities.
