title: Synthesis and anticonvulsant activity of some omega-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-N-phenylacetamide and propionamide derivatives.
abstract: In this study, eight new omega-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-N-phenylacetamide and propionamide derivatives having 2,6-dimethyl, 2,6-dichloro, 2-chloro-6-methyl and 2-isopropyl substitutions on N-phenyl ring were synthesized to evaluate anticonvulsant activity against maximal electroshock test. The most active compounds in the series were the derivatives bearing 2-isopropyl and 2,6-dimethyl substituents on N-phenyl ring.
