title: Synthesis and anticonvulsant activity of some novel fused heterocyclic 1,2,4-triazolo-[3,4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives.
abstract: In the present investigation, a series of 3,6-disubstituted-1,2,4-triazolo-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives (6a-t) were synthesized and evaluated for their anticonvulsant activity and neurotoxicity. The structures of synthesized compounds were confirmed on the basis of their elemental analysis and spectral data results. In anti-MES activity compounds 6b, 6c, 6g, 6j, 6k, 6q and 6r showed potent activity comparable to that of standard drugs: phenytoin and carbamazepine. Compounds 6c, 6k, 6n, 6p and 6s successfully passed the rotorod test without any sign of neurological deficit.
