Abstract
A new series of 8-substituted-4(3H)-quinazoline derivatives were synthesized, evaluated for their anticonvulsant activity against chemically (PTZ, picrotoxin and Strychnine) and electrically (MES) induced seizures and compared with the reference drugs valproate and methaqualone. Acid hydrazide, acetylhydrazine carboxylate and acetylhydrazinecarbodithioate were the most active compounds with relatively low neurotoxicity compared with the standard drugs. The obtained results proved that the mostly active compounds could be useful as a model for future design, adaptation and investigation to construct more active analogues.
