Synthesis and anticonvulsant activity of racemic 2-amino-N-substituted succinimide derivatives

Several derivatives of (R,S)-2-amino-N-substituted succinimides were synthetized and evaluated in mice against seizures produced by electroshock and pentylenetetrazol. The most active compound against both electroshock- and pentylenetetrazol-induced seizures was (R,S)-N-benzyl-2-(methanesulfamido)succinimide.
