Thalidomide (α-N-phthalimido-glutarimide), the withdrawn sedative compound, has recently been reemerged as a potent agent against epilepsy. In this study, five l-amino acid derivatives of N-phthaloylglycine were synthesized and were tested on pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) induced seizure mice model. N-phthaloylglycine was prepared by reaction of phthalic anhydride and glycine in the presence of triethylamine in toluene under reflux. Arginine, glutamine, leucine, phenylalanine, and tryptophan methyl ester were prepared and coupled with N-phthaloylglycine using coupling agents (EDC and HOBt). The final compounds were characterized by spectroscopic methods (1H NMR, 13 CNMR, IR, and MS). A docking study using AutoDock 4.2 was performed to predict the possible interactions of synthesized compounds on the GABAA receptor. All compounds were characterized, docked into the binding pocket of the GABAA receptor, and tested on pentylenetetrazole-induced seizures in mice. As expected, in silico studies demonstrated that all compounds interact efficiently with the GABAA receptor. All synthesized compounds showed satisfactory results leading to increased latency time to the first symptom of a seizure. The phenylalanine methyl ester derivative of N-phthaloylglycine (6d) had antiepileptic effects even more potent than thalidomide. Increasing lipophilicity and facilitating compounds delivery through l-amino acid carriers to the brain appear to be responsible for the remarkable activity of these compounds. Both in silico and in vivo results suggest that the l-amino acid derivatives of N-phthaloylglycine act as a novel compound against chemically induced seizures through interaction with the binding pocket of the GABAA receptor.
Synthesis, characterization and pharmacological evaluation of amino acid conjugates of ketoprofen

Ketoprofen is used for its antipyretic, analgesic and antiinflammatory properties by inhibiting cyclooxygenase-1 and cyclooxygenase-2 enzymes reversibly, which decreases production of proinflammatory prostaglandin precursors. Ketoprofen suffers from the general side effects of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, owing to presence of free carboxylic acid group. The study aimed to retard the adverse effects of gastrointestinal origin. Different conjugates of ketoprofen have been synthesized by amidation with methyl esters of amino acids namely, phenylalanine, lysine, arginine, glycine, cysteine, valine, glutamine, serine, proline and alanine. Synthesized conjugates were characterized and evaluated for analgesic and antiinflammatory activities.
