The anticonvulsant activity of a homologous series of (+/-)-p-fluoro-phenyl alcohol amides is described. The compounds (+/-)-2-hydroxy-2-(4'-fluorophenyl)butyramide (2), (+/-)-3-hydroxy-3-(4'-fluorophenyl)pentanamide (4) and (+/-)-4-hydroxy-4-(4'-fluorophenyl)hexanamide (6) were prepared and tested. Compounds 2, 4 and 6 exhibited a similar significant activity in seizures provoked by pentylenetetrazol. Incorporation of fluorine in the para position of the phenyl ring, increased both their potency at the time of the peak drug effect and the duration of their anticonvulsant activity.

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.

D003292 Convulsants Substances that act in the brain stem or spinal cord to produce tonic or clonic convulsions, often by removing normal inhibitory tone. They were formerly used to stimulate respiration or as antidotes to barbiturate overdose. They are now most commonly used as experimental tools.
