“…These essential features are present in most popular anticonvulsant drugs such as phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital and ralitoline. Benzofuran derivatives have diverse pharmacological activities, like anticonvulsant (12)(13)(14)(15), antiinflammatory (13), analgesic (16), antioxidant and antimicrobial (17,18), neuroprotective (19), anticancer, cytotoxic, inhibiting of NF-κB and protein kinase (20)(21)(22). Benzofuran, a versatile heterocyclic molecule possessing a preliminary anticonvulsant property, has been selected to explore as a hydrophobic functional group for the binding site.…”
