Synthesis and anticonvulsant activity of some benzopyranone imino derivatives of GABA and related compounds

Farmaco. 1991 May;46(5):629-38.

Abstract

The synthesis of some 5-hydroxy-4-imino-2,3-dihydrobenzopyran derivatives of GABA and alkylamines is described. The products were tested for their GABA-receptor binding and anticonvulsant activity in mice. Some compounds showed anticonvulsant activity. No binding to GABA receptors was observed.
