    Abstract

    Ten 6-chlorobenzothiazolyl-2-thiosemicarbazones were synthesised and screened for anticonvulsant and neurotoxic properties. Most of the compounds showed anticonvulsant activity against both maximal electroshock seizure (MES) and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole screens. Eight compounds have shown good protection in the rat p.o. MES test at 30 mg kg-1. Compound 1 [4-(6-chlorobenzothiazol-2-yl)-1-(3-isatinimino)thiosemicarbazone] emerged as the most promising one with an ED50 of 17.86 and 6.07 mg kg-1 in mice i.p. and rat p.o., respectively. Compound 1 showed a weak ability to block the expression of fully kindled seizures. © 2002 Published by Éditions scientifiques et médicales Elsevier SAS.
