title: The influence of some aminoalkanolic xanthone derivatives on central nervous and cardiovascular systems in rodents.
abstract: A series of appropriate aminoalkanolic derivatives 2- or 4-methylxanthone was synthesized and evaluated for anticonvulsant activity in the maximal electroshock seizure (MES) and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole seizure threshold (scPtz) assays, and for neurotoxicity (TOX). The most interesting result was the anticonvulsant activity of (R,S)-2N-(6-chloro-2-xanthonemethyl-2N-methylamino-1-propanol hydrochloride (II, which displayed anti-MES and anti-scPtz activity. Some of the obtained compounds (I - IV and V - VII) were also tested for their effect on the circulatory system (the effect on normal electrocardiogram, protection against adrenaline-, barium-, calcium- and/or strophanthine-induced arrhythmias, the effect on the arterial blood pressure and respiratory movements) and acute toxicity.
