title: Benzothiazole incorporated barbituric acid derivatives: synthesis and anticonvulsant screening.
abstract: A series of 1-(6-substituted-1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-3-(substituted phenyl)hexahydro-2,4,6-pyrimidinetriones 4a-t were synthesized starting from substituted anilines. These compounds contained two active anticonvulsant pharmacophores, benzothiazole and barbituric acid. Structures of the compounds were confirmed on the basis of different spectroscopic techniques. All the compounds were evaluated for their anticonvulsant activity. Three compounds 4c, 4d, and 4s showed promising anticonvulsant activities in Maximal Electroshock Seizure test (MES) and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole test (scPTZ). They also displayed a wide safety profile when tested for the minimal motor impairment test.
