New imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines carrying active pharmacophores: Synthesis and anticonvulsant studies

New imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines carrying active pharmacophores were synthesized and screened for their in vivo anticonvulsant activities as well as toxicity studies. Compounds bearing 4-fluorophenyl substituent at 2nd position display enhanced activities. New compounds exhibit their activity at a small test dose of 10 mg/kg.
