Influence of new gamma-aminobutyric acid amide derivatives and its phthalimide precursors on the central nervous system activity in mice

Pol J Pharmacol. 2001 Nov-Dec;53(6):689-93.

Abstract

The present study investigated the influence of BM-78, BM-121 (gamma-aminobutyric acid amide derivatives) and BM-42, BM-43 (phthalimide precursors of BM-78 and BM-121) on the spontaneous locomotor activity and on the picrotoxin-induced seizures. Results of pharmacological in vivo examination of the effects of new gamma-aminobutyric acid amide derivatives and its phthalimide precursors (compounds BM-78, BM-121, BM-42, BM-43), presented in this paper showed that all the compounds had different but clear influence on CNS in mice.
