Synthesis and anticonvulsant activity evaluation of 7-alkoxy-2,4-dihydro-1H-benzo[b][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-d][1,4]thiazin-1-ones in various murine experimental seizure models

Antimycic Acid and its Acetyl Derivative from Deep-sea-derived Alcanivorax sp. SHA4 with Neuroprotective Properties

Chemical investigation of secondary metabolites of the deep-sea-derived Alcanivorax sp. SHA4 identified a new compound 1 which was antimycic acid (2)'s acetyl derivative, and 11 known compounds (2-12). Their structures were elucidated by extensive nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry spectroscopic analyses, and the absolute configuration of compound 1 was determined by Marfey's method. Bioactivity assays indicated that compounds 1 and 2 exhibited significant neuroprotective properties against glutamate-induced PC12 cell death in 0.02-0.31 μM.

An insight on medicinal attributes of 1,2,4-triazoles

The present review aims to summarize the pharmacological profile of 1,2,4-triazole, one of the emerging privileged scaffold, as antifungal, antibacterial, anticancer, anticonvulsant, antituberculosis, antiviral, antiparasitic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory agents, etc. along with structure-activity relationship. The comprehensive compilation of work carried out in the last decade on 1,2,4-triazole nucleus will provide inevitable scope for researchers for the advancement of novel potential drug candidates having better efficacy and selectivity.

Recent developments on triazole nucleus in anticonvulsant compounds: a review

Epilepsy is one of the common diseases seriously threatening life and health of human. More than 50 million people are suffering from this condition and anticonvulsant agents are the main treatment. However, side effects and intolerance, and a lack of efficacy limit the application of the current anticonvulsant agents. The search for new anticonvulsant agents with higher efficacy and lower toxicity continues to be the focus and task in medicinal chemistry. Numbers of triazole derivatives as clinical drugs or candidates have been frequently employed for the treatment of various types of diseases, which have proved the importance of this heterocyclic nucleus in drug design and discovery. Recently many endeavours were made to involve the triazole into the anticonvulsants design, which have brought lots of active compounds. This work is an attempt to systematically review the research of triazole derivatives in the design and development of anticonvulsant agents during the past two decades.
