All the synthesized derivatives were evaluated for their anticonvulsant activity using the maximal electroshock (MES) method with phenytoin as a standard drug along with their neurotoxicity effect. Derivatives 8b, 8e and 8k exhibited significant anticonvulsant activity (P 〈 0.001). The neurotoxicity study clearly revealed that all the tested compounds are non-toxic at a dose of 40 mg/kg.
