Novel thiosemicarbazide derivatives were synthesised and evaluated for their anticonvulsant activity and neurotoxicity. Anticonvulsant activity was done for grand mal and petit mal types of epilepsies by maximal electroshock (MES) and pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) induced convulsions methods respectively. Rotarod test was done to determine neurotoxicity. Amongst synthesised compounds, N-(4-bromophenyl)2-[(2-phenylhydrazinyl) carbonothioyl] hydrazinecarbothioamide (5e) is a broad-spectrum anticonvulsant agent since it was active in both (MES) and (PTZ) induced seizure models with no neurotoxicity and N,N-(bis(chlorophenyl)hydrazine-1,2-dicarbothoamide (5g) acts as a selective agent for grand mal epilepsy.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D009043 Motor Activity Body movements of a human or an animal as a behavioral phenomenon. Activities, Motor,Activity, Motor,Motor Activities
D010433 Pentylenetetrazole A pharmaceutical agent that displays activity as a central nervous system and respiratory stimulant. It is considered a non-competitive GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID antagonist. Pentylenetetrazole has been used experimentally to study seizure phenomenon and to identify pharmaceuticals that may control seizure susceptibility.

D004597 Electroshock Induction of a stress reaction in experimental subjects by means of an electrical shock; applies to either convulsive or non-convulsive states. Electroconvulsive Shock,Electroconvulsive Shocks,Electroshocks,Shock, Electroconvulsive,Shocks, Electroconvulsive
D004827 Epilepsy A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of paroxysmal brain dysfunction due to a sudden, disorderly, and excessive neuronal discharge. Epilepsy classification systems are generally based upon: (1) clinical features of the seizure episodes (e.g., motor seizure), (2) etiology (e.g., post-traumatic), (3) anatomic site of seizure origin (e.g., frontal lobe seizure), (4) tendency to spread to other structures in the brain, and (5) temporal patterns (e.g., nocturnal epilepsy).

D015195 Drug Design The molecular designing of drugs for specific purposes (such as DNA-binding, enzyme inhibition, anti-cancer efficacy, etc.) based on knowledge of molecular properties such as activity of functional groups, molecular geometry, and electronic structure, and also on information cataloged on analogous molecules. Drug design is generally computer-assisted molecular modeling and does not include PHARMACOKINETICS, dosage analysis, or drug administration analysis.
