New series of imidazolones and pyrrolones were synthesized. The compounds were tested regarding their anxiolytic properties due to modulation of the GABAA receptor response. Several derivatives exhibit considerable pharmacological activity while lacking the typical side effects of benzodiazepine receptor agonists. 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-morpholin-1-yl-1,5- dihydro-imidazol-2-one (2) and 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-piperidin-1-yl-1,5-dihydro- imidazol-2-one (3) were protective in the pentylenetetrazole test in rats with oral ED50 of 27.4 and 12.8 mg/kg and TD50 (rotarod) of >500 and 265 mg/kg, respectively. The minimum effective dose in the Vogel conflict test was 3 mg/kg for both compounds. Common structure-activity relationship and comparative molecular field analysis models of the various series of derivatives could be established which are in accordance with a GABAA mediated pharmacological action. The findings fit well into an established pharmacophore model. This model is refined by an additional steric restriction feature.

, (2008/06/13)
Compounds having anticonsulive activity, of the formula 1 STR1 in which X is hydrogen, a C1-4 -alkyl, C1-4 alkoxy, trifluoromethyl, or halogen residue, R1 and R2 are independently of each other C1-4 -alkyl, C2-4 hydroxyalkyl, cycloalkyl or heteroalkyl, or R1 and R2 are together a C2-6 alkylene reside in which a--CH2 --group is optionally replaced by oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur, m is 0 or 1, and n is 0 or a cardinal number from 1 to 5, and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts. The application also relates to a process for making the compound of formula (I).
