Recent studies have demonstrated that substituted N-benzyl 2-acetamidoacetamides provide significant protection against maximal electroshock (MES)-induced seizures in mice and rats. In this study, we investigated whether the 2-acetamido moiety was necessary for anticonvulsant activity. Ten derivatives of the known anticonvulsant, N-benzyl 2-acetamido-2-phenylacetamide were prepared in which the 2-acetamido group was replaced by hydrogen, methyl, oxygen, and halogen substituents. Evaluation of these compounds in the MES-induced seizure test demonstrated that both the hydroxy and the methoxy compounds provided full protection against MES-induced seizures in mice given ip at 100 mg/g. Moreover, evaluation of the individual stereoisomers for the hydroxy compound showed that the principal activity resided in the (R)-isomer. These findings demonstrated that the 2-acetamido substituent is important but not obligatory for the prevention of MES-induced seizures. Further supporting evidence was provided by comparing the pharmacological activities of N-benzyl 2,3-dimethoxypropionamide with N-benzyl 2-acetamido-3-methoxypropionamide. The ED50 value for the former in the MES test was 3.0 mg/kg (ip), which compared favorably with phenobarbital (ED50=22 mg/kg), but the ED50 value for N-benzyl 2-acetamido-3-methoxypropionamide was 8.3 mg/kg.
