“…Compounds 8,9,10,12,13,15,16,17,19,20,25,26,27,28,30,32,33, and 35 showed moderate protective effect in the MES and compounds 11, 18, and 31 were found to be 100% protective. Majority of the compounds, except 22,23,24,29,34, and 36, were active in MES tests making them useful for a broad spectrum of seizure types. The bioactivity in the MES test, exhibited by sulfonamide and amide derivatives such as 8-37, when the hydrogen group at the N-position was replaced by a phenyl ring, substitution of a small lipophilic group like fluoro group to the phenyl ring increases the anticonvulsant activity of 11, 18, 31, and 32.…”
