A series of 2(3H)-benzoxazolone and 2(3H)-benzothiazolone derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for anticonvulsant activity. The compounds were assayed, intraperitoneally in mice and per os in rats, against seizures induced by maximal electroshock (MES) and pentylene-tetrazole (scMet). Neurologic deficity was evaluated by the rotarod test. The compounds were prepared to determine the relationship between the 2(3H)-benzoxazolone and 2(3H)-benzothiazolone derivatives' structures and anticonvulsant activity. Several of these compounds showed significant anticonvulsant activity. Compounds 43 and 45 were the most active of the series against MES-induced seizures with ED50 values of 8.7 and 7.6 mg/kg, respectively. Compound 45 displayed good protection against MES-induced seizures and low toxicity in rats with an oral ED50 of 18.6 mg/kg and a protective index (PI = TD50/ED50) of 1 receptors with nanomolar affinities.

Benzoxazolinone derivatives have been found to exhibit various pharmacological properties and 6-acyl-2(3H)-benzoxazolones are considered as key starting materials for the preparation of these compounds.Reported here are the optimal conditions for a regioselective acylation at the 6-position of the benzoxazolinone ring.A general method leading to the expected products in excellent yields consists in using a mixture of aluminum chloride-dimethylformamide as catalyst and acid anhydrides or chlorides as acylating agents.
