Design and synthesis of some novel 2-(3-methyl-2-oxoquinoxalin-1(2H)-yl)-N-(4-(substituted)phenyl)acetamide derivatives for biological evaluation as anticonvulsant agents

A new series of 2-(3-methyl-2-oxoquinoxalin-1(2H)-yl)-N-(4-substitutedphenyl)acetamides (2–15a–c) were designed and synthesized in order to evaluate their anticonvulsant activity. The structure of the synthesized compounds was confirmed by elemental analysis and spectral data (IR, 1H NMR and Mass). The data obtained from biological screening revealed that; compounds 9c and 8c showed the highest anticonvulsant activities in experimental mice.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
