9-(2-Chloro-benz-yloxy)-6,7-dihydro-2H-benzo[c][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]azepin-3(5H)-one.

In the title mol-ecule, C(18)H(16)ClN(3)O(2), the seven-membered ring adopts an envelope conformation with the flap atom deviating by 0.801 (5) Šfrom the mean plane formed by the remaining non-H atoms. Inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into centrosymmetric dimers. The crystal packing also exhibits weak inter-molecular C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds and π-π inter-actions with a short distance of 3.734 (3) Šbetween the centroids of the aromatic rings of neighbouring mol-ecules.

(1E)-6-Meth-oxy-3,4-dihydro-naphthalen-1(2H)-one O-(p-tolyl-sulfon-yl)oxime.

In the title compound, C(18)H(19)NO(4)S, the two benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 68.37 (11)°. One of the C atoms of the fused ring bonded to the N atom displays positional disorder with site-occupation factors of 0.763 (7) and 0.237 (7) and the ring has an envelope conformation with the disordered C atoms located on opposite sides of the plane formed by the other atoms. In the crystal, inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules to form a two-dimensional supra-molecular network. The crystal structure is further stablized by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(11)H(13)NO(2), the mol-ecules are paired into centrosymmetric dimers via inter-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds.

Synthesis and Anticonvulsant Activity of 3-(alkylamino, alkoxy)-1,3,4,5- Tetrahydro-2H-benzo [b] azepine-2-one Derivatives.

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: A series of novel 3-Substituted-1,3,4,5-Tetrahydro-2H-benzo [b] azepine-2-one Derivatives (4, 5, 7, 10, 12, 5a-j, 8a-e) were synthesized from 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-1- naphthalenone. The structures of these compounds were confirmed by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MASS spectra and elemental analysis. Their anticonvulsant activity was evaluated by the maximal electroshock (MES) test, subcutaneous pentylenetetrazol (scPTZ) test, and their neurotoxicity was evaluated by the rotarod neurotoxicity test. Compound 4 showed the maximum anticonvulsant activity against the maximal electroshock test (ED50=26.4, PI =3.2) and against the subcutaneous pentylenetetrazol test (ED50=40.2, PI =2.1). CONCLUSION: Possible structure-activity relationship was discussed.

Synthesis of Novel 8-alkylamino-5, 6-dihydro-4H-benzo[f] [1,2,4]triazolo [4,3-a]azepines as Anticonvulsant Agents.

A series of new 8-alkylamino-5, 6-dihydro-4H-benzo[f][1,2,4]triazolo [4,3-a]azepine derivatives were synthesized and screened for their anticonvulsant activities by the maximal electroshock (MES) test, subcutaneous pentylenetetrazol (scPTZ) test, and their neurotoxicity was evaluated by the rotarod neurotoxicity test. The results of these tests showed that 8-heptylamino-5,6- dihydro-4H-benzo[f][1,2,4] triazolo[4,3-a]azepine (7g) was the most promising compound, with median effective dose (ED50) of 19.0 mg/kg, and protective index (PI) value of 14.8 in the MES test, which is much higher than the PI value of the prototype antiepileptic drug carbamazepine (PI = 8.1), phenytoin (PI = 6.9), phenobarbital (PI = 3.2), and sodium valproate (PI = 1.6). The possible structure-activity relationship was discussed.

Synthesis and anticonvulsant activity of 8-alkoxy-5,6-dihydro-4H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1]benzazepin-1-one derivatives.

A series of novel 8-alkoxy-5,6-dihydro-4H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1]benzazepin-1-one derivatives were synthesized and screened for their anticonvulsant activities by the maximal electroshock (MES) test, subcutaneous pentylenetetrazol (scPTZ) test, and their neurotoxicity was evaluated by the rotarod neurotoxicity test (Tox). The results of these tests demonstrated that 8-heptyloxy-5,6-dihydro-4H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1]benzazepin-1-one (3f) and 8-hexyloxy -5,6-dihydro-4H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1]benzazepin-1-one (3e) were the most promising compounds, with median effective dose (ED(50)) of 17.6 and 17.9 mg/kg, and protective index (PI) of greater than 63.4 and 62.4 in the MES test, respectively. These PI values were higher than the PI value of the prototype antiepileptic drug carbamazepine. The scPTZ test showed that 8-pentyloxy-5,6-dihydro-4H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1]benzazepin-1-one (3d) was the most potent with ED(50) value of 38.0 mg/kg and PI value of greater than 29.4, which is much safer than marketed drug carbamazepine. The possible structure-activity relationship was discussed.
