Abstract

A novel class of 19 carbamates was synthesized, and their anticonvulsant activity was comparatively evaluated in the rat maximal electroshock (MES) and subcutaneous metrazol (scMet) seizure tests and pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus (SE) model. In spite of the alkyl-carbamates' close structural features, only compounds 34, 38, and 40 were active at the MES test. The analogues 2-ethyl-3-methyl-butyl-carbamate (34) and 2-ethyl-3-methyl- ...
