In the present study, we compared the antiepileptic effects of α-asarone derivatives to explore their structure-activity relationships using the PTZ-induced seizure model. Our research revealed that electron-donating methoxy groups in the 3,4,5-position on phenyl ring increased antiepileptic potency but the placement of other groups at different positions decreased activity. Besides, in allyl moiety, the optimal activity was reached with either an allyl or a 1-butenyl group in conjugation with the benzene ring. The compounds 5 and 19 exerted better neuroprotective effects against epilepsy in vitro (cell) and in vivo (mouse) models. This study provides valuable data for further exploration and application of these compounds as potential anti-seizure medicines.

Methoxylated (E)-arylalkenes (1a-1k) were prepared in two steps by an improved Grignard reaction comprising the reverse addition of alkylmagnesium bromide to benzaldehydes (2a-2k) in anhydrous ether and toluene into arylalkanols (3a-3k) in high yield, followed by dehydration with silica gel under microwave irradiation for 3-12 min, depending upon the substituents attached to the aromatic ring to afford hypolipidemic active α-asarone (1a) and related methoxylated (E)-arylalkenes (1b-1k).

A series of α-asarone isomers was synthesized and investigated for their hypolipidemic and antiplatelet activity. Considering the hypolipidemic activity in rats at a dose of 80 mg/kg/day, some isomers were more potent than clofibrate at 150 mg/kg. Compoun
