Several studies have demonstrated that N-substituted aminoacid derivatives exhibit weak anticonvulsant activities in vivo. In the present study, a series of amides of aminoacids structurally related to aminoacetamide have been synthesised and investigated for anticonvulsant activity. Among the molecules investigated, those containing a bicyclic (tetralinyl, indanyl) group linked to the aminoacetamide chain (40, 47 and 59) were among the most active as anticonvulsants (ED50 > 10, <100 mg/kg after oral administration) against tonic seizures in the mouse maximal electroshock, bicuculline and picrotoxin tests at doses devoid of neurotoxic activity. Altogether, these results suggest the described compounds as a class of orally available anticonvulsants. The ability of these compounds to partially block veratridine-induced aspartate efflux from rat cortical synaptosomes suggests that their anticonvulsant activity may be only partly the consequence of an interaction with neuronal voltage-dependent sodium channels. Some of the most potent compounds appear worthy of a further investigation aimed at assessing their anticonvulsant activity in other models and at elucidating the underlying mechanism of action.
