title: Synthesis and hypnotic activities of N-Cbz-alpha-aminoglutarimidooxy carboxylate derivatives.
abstract: Typical hypnotic drugs, such as barbitals and glutethimide, have a cyclic imide (-CO-NH-CO-) moiety. The N-Cbz-alpha-aminoglutarimidooxy carboxylate derivatives, which we previously showed exhibit moderate anticonvulsant activities, also have a cyclic imide (-CO-N-CO-) moiety. This structural similarity prompted us to examine the hypnotic activities of the N-Cbz-alpha-aminoglutarimidooxy carboxylate derivatives, and we describe their moderate hypnotic activities here.
