[ 1 ] - Coumarin derivatives bearing benzoheterocycle moiety: synthesis, cholinesterase inhibitory, and docking simulation study

Objective(s): To investigate the efficiency of a novel series of coumarin derivatives bearing benzoheterocycle moiety as novel cholinesterase inhibitors. Materials and Methods: Different 7-hydroxycoumarin derivatives were synthesized via Pechmann or Knoevenagel condensation and conjugated to different benzoheterocycle (8-hydroxyquinoline, 2-mercaptobenzoxazole or 2-mercaptobenzimidazole) using ...

[ 2 ] - Anticonvulsant Effects of New 1, 4-Dihydropyridine Derivatives Containing Imidazolyl Moiety Against Seizures Induced by Pentylenetetrazole and Maximal Electroshock in Mice

Epilepsy is a chronic disorder of the brain affecting around 50 million people in the world.Up to 30% of epileptic patients do not respond to available drugs and medical therapies. In thispaper, anticonvulsant screening of 10 synthesized new derivatives of 1, 4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxamides was performed.Anticonvulsant activity was evaluated by intravenous and intraperitoneal pentylenetetr...
