    Area of Science:

    • Medicinal Chemistry
    • Pharmacology
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Indole derivatives are known for diverse biological activities.
    • Tremorine-induced tremors in mice are a model for studying central nervous system (CNS) activity.
    • Developing new CNS-active agents with favorable safety profiles is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To synthesize and characterize a series of novel 2-substituted-3-[(N-alkanol-N-imidazolin-2'-ylamino)methyl]indoles.
    • To evaluate the anticonvulsant and CNS depressant properties of these synthesized compounds.
    • To assess the relative toxicity of the most promising compounds.

    Main Methods:

    • Chemical synthesis of 28 indole derivatives.
    • Administration of synthesized compounds to mice.
    • Induction of tremors using tremorine.
    • Behavioral observation and toxicity assessment in mice.

    Main Results:

    • Twenty-eight novel indole compounds were successfully synthesized.
    • Several compounds exhibited significant protection against tremorine-induced tremors in mice.
    • The active compounds demonstrated central nervous system depressant effects.
    • The tested compounds showed relatively low toxicity.

    Conclusions:

    • The synthesized 2-substituted-3-[(N-alkanol-N-imidazolin-2'-ylamino)methyl]indoles represent a promising class of CNS depressants.
    • These compounds hold potential for further development as anticonvulsant agents.
    • The favorable toxicity profile warrants further investigation for therapeutic applications.
