Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A series of novel thiazole incorporated (arylalkyl)azoles were synthesized and screened for their anticonvulsant properties using maximal electroshock (MES) and pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) models in mice. Among target compound, 1-[(2-(4-chlorophenyl)thiazol-4-yl)methyl]-1H-imidazole (compound 4b), 1-[(2-phenylthiazol-4-yl)methyl]-1H-1,2,4-triazole (8a) and its 4-chlorophenyl analog (compound 8b) were able to display noticeable anticonvulsant activity in both PTZ and MES tests with percentage protection range of 33-100%. A computational study was carried out for prediction of pharmacokinetics properties and drug-likeness. The structure-activity relationship and in silico drug relevant properties (MW, TPSA, clog P, HBD, HBA and log BB) confirmed that the compounds were within the range set by Lipinski's rule-of-five, and possessing favorable physicochemical properties for acting as CNS-drugs, making them potentially promising agents for epilepsy therapy.
