Synthesis and evaluation on anticonvulsant and antidepressant activities of 5-Alkoxy-tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinazolines.
Several 5-alkoxy-tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinazoline derivatives have been synthesized by reacting 2,4-dichloroquinazoline with various phenols or aliphatic alcohol and then with sodium azide. The structures of these compounds have been confirmed by IR, MS,( 1)H-NMR, and elementary analysis. Anticonvulsant activities were evaluated using the maximal electroshock (MES) test. Most of the synthesized compounds displayed weak anticonvulsant activity at a dose of 300 mg/kg. Antidepressant activities were investigated by forced swimming test. Two compounds, namely 5-(hexyloxy)tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinazoline and 5-(4-methoxyphenoxy)tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinazoline, showed significant antidepressant activity, which decreased the immobility time by 62.2 and 51.7% at 100 mg/kg dose level.
