Synthesis and anticonvulsant properties of N-methylpyridyl derivatives of m- and p-bromophenylsuccinimides

Pol J Pharmacol Pharm. 1987 Jan-Feb;39(1):91-5.

Abstract

The reaction of m- or p-bromophenylsuccinic acids with 2-aminomethylpyridines yielded respective N-methylpyridylimides 1-8. Only compounds 1 and 6 show anticonvulsant activity in the pentetrazole and electric seizures tests, but their therapeutic index is inferior to that of ethosuximide and valproic acid.
