We aimed to design and synthesize novel γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) derivatives with the combination of aspirin (ASA) of nerve rehabilitative pharmacophores so as to develop multifunctional drugs useful in the treatment of neurological disorders. Twenty-four novel esters and amides of 1a were synthesized, biologically evaluated for antiepileptic activity with the model of 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), and tested for their capacity of penetrating the blood-brain barrier (BBB) with HPLC. The distribution of 8a, ASA freed by 8a, 7c, and ASA freed by 7c within 24 h in brain tissue was measured. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) was established and the data of Computer Aided Drug Design (CADD) showed good results. With ED50 values of, 0.3684-0.5199 mmol/kg, LD50 1.1487-1.3944 mmol/kg, and therapeutic index (TI) 2.65-3.15, compounds 8a, 3b, 4b, 6c, and 7c exhibited better antiepileptic activities in multiples of 0.3 to 2.2 against the control sodium valproate (VPA). Most importantly, 8a and 7c exhibited excellent antiepileptic activities with TI values of, 3.15 and 3.12, respectively.

4-(3,4-Dihydro-2,4-dioxo-2H-1,3-benzoxazin-3-yl)-butyric acid (7) and its ethyl ester 6, two potential γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) prodrugs, were synthesized and studied to determine their stability in aqueous buffer and their susceptibility to undergo enzymatic hydrolysis in vitro (mouse plasma). Both compounds were fairly stable in aqueous media, (t( 1/4 ) = 68.2 h and 25.7 h, respectively). The 3,4-dihydro-2,4-dioxo-2H-1,3-benzoxazine ring underwent enzymatic hydrolysis (t( 1/4 ) = 5.8 h) in compound 7, whereas in compound 6 it seemed not to be opened by mouse plasma esterases within the observation time (3 h). Both compounds were tested for their anticonvulsant activity in pentetrazole (PTZ) treated mice, and showed significant activity. Compound 7, administered as sodium salt 8, was active at relatively low doses and can be considered a very interesting GABA prodrug.
