Summary

2-Amino-5-(heteroarylmethylene)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles/thiadiazoles 7−10 were synthesized by cyclisation of 1-(heteroarylacetyl)semicarbazides/thiosemicarbazides 3−6. 5-(2’-Heteroarylmethylene-5’-aminomethylene-1’, 3’, 4’-oxadiazol-2’-yl/ thiadiazol-2’-yl)-2-oxo/thiobarbituric acids 11−18 were synthesized by condensation of compounds 7−10 at the 5th position of 2-oxo/thiobarbituric acids. The newly synthesized compounds showed anticonvulsant activity ranging from 50–90 % (seizures protection). Compound 18 (5-(2’-phenothiazinylmethylene-5’-aminomethylene-1’,3’,4’-thiadiazol-2’-yl)-2-thiobarbituric acid) showed maximum activity being more potent than the reference drug phenytoin sodium (CAS 630-93-3)

Zusammenfassung

Synthese neuer Indolyl/Phenothiazinylsubstituierter 2-Oxo/Thiobarbitursäuren als potente Antiepileptika

2-Amino-5-(heteroarylmethylen)-1,3,4-oxadiazole/thiadiazole 7−10 wurden durch Ringbildung der 1-(Heteroarylacetyl)semi-carbaziden/thiosemicarbazide3−6 synthetisiert. 5-(2’-Heteroarylmethy-len-5’-amino-methylen-1’,3’,4’-oxadiazol-2’-yl/thiadiazol-2’-yl)-2-oxo/thiobarbitursäuren 11−18 wurden durch Kondensation der Verbindungen 7−10 an Position 5 der 2-Oxo/Thiobarbitursäuren hergestellt. Die neu synthetisierten Verbindungen zeigten antikonvulsive Wirkung von 50 bis 90 % (Schutz vor Krämpfen). Die Verbindung 18 (5-(2’-Phenothiazinylmethylen-5’-aminomethylen-1’,3’,4’-thiadiazol-2’-yl)-2-thiobarbitursäure) zeigte maximale Wirkung und erwies sich als wirksamer als die Vergleichssubstanz Phenytoin-Natrium (CAS 630-93-3).
