title: Synthesis of 2-substituted-7-heptyloxy-4,5-dihydro-[1,2,4]-triazolo[4,3-a]quinolin-1(2H)-ones with anticonvulsant activity.
abstract: A series of 2-substituted-7-heptyloxy-4,5-dihydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinolin-1(2H)-ones was synthesized. The anticonvulsant effect and neurotoxicity of the compounds were calculated with maximal electroshock (MES) test, subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (sc-PTZ), and rotarod tests with intraperitoneally injected mice. Among the synthesized compounds, 2-propionyl-7-heptyloxy-4,5-dihydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoline-1(2H)-one 4b was the most active one and also had the lowest toxicity. In the anti-MES potency test, it showed median effective dose (ED(50)) of 8.2 mg/kg, median toxicity dose (TD(50)) of 318.3 mg/kg, and the protective index (PI) of 39.0 which is much greater than the PI of the reference drugs phenytoin and carbamazepine.
