    (Arylalkyl)azoles (AAAs) emerged as a novel class of antiepileptic agents with the invention of nafimidone and denzimol. Several AAA derivatives with potent anticonvulsant activities have been reported so far, however neurotoxicity was usually an issue. We prepared a set of ester derivatives of 1-(2-naphthyl)2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yeethanone oxime and evaluated their anticonvulsant and neurotoxic effects in mice. Most of our compounds were protective against maximal electroshock (MES)- and/or subcutaneous metrazol (s.c. MET)-induced seizures whereas none of them showed neurotoxicity. Nafimidone and denzimol have an activity profile similar to that of phenytoin or carbamazepine, both of which are known to inhibit voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) as well as to enhance gamma-aminobutiric acid (GABA)-mediated response. In order to get insights into the effects of our compounds on VGSCs and A type GABA receptors (GABA(A)Rs) we performed docking studies using homology model of Na+ channel inner pore and GABA(A)R as docking scaffolds. We found that our compounds bind VGSCs in similar ways as phenytoin, carbamazepine, and lamotrigine. They showed strong affinity to benzodiazepine (BZD) binding site and their binding interactions were mainly complied with the experimental data and the reported BZD binding model.

    Synthesis of some novel 1-(2-naphthyl)-2-(imidazol-1-yl)ethanone oxime ester derivatives and evaluation of their anticonvulsant activity
    (Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, 2012) Karakurt, Arzu; Alagoz, Mehmet A.; Sayoglu, Burcu; Calis, Unsal; Dalkara, Sevim
    Twenty-three new oxime ester derivatives of nafimidone were synthesized with the prospect of potential anticonvulsant activities. MES and ScM tests were employed for their anticonvulsant activities and rotorod test for neurological deficits. Eighteen compounds were found to be protective against MES seizures. Alkyl (1-8) and arylalkyl (9,10) oxime ester derivatives were found to be more active than aryl oxime ester derivatives (11-23). Five compounds (2, 3, 7, 9, 10), which were protective at 0.5 h at the doses of 30 mg/kg and higher in MES test, showed the highest activity. Compound 17 was the most active one in ScM test at all dose levels at 4 h. (C) 2012 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

    Synthesis, Anticonvulsant and Antimicrobial Activities of Some New [1-(2-Naphthyl)-2-(pyrazol-1-yl)ethanone]oxime Ethers
    (Bentham Science Publ Ltd, 2015) Ozdemir, Zeynep; Karakurt, Arzu; Calis, Unsal; Gunal, Selami; Isik, Samil; Sahin, Z. Sibel; Dalkara, Sevim
    In this study, 12 new oxime ether derivatives, which were expected to show anticonvulsant and antimicrobial activities, were synthesized. Oxime ether derivatives were synthesized by the reaction of various alkyl halides with 1-(2-naphthyl)- 2-(pyrazol-1-yl)ethanone oxime. Anticonvulsant activity of the compounds was determined by maximal electroshock (MES) and subcutaneous metrazol (ScM) seizure tests, while neurological disorders were evaluated using rotorod toxicity test according to the ASP of NIH. Compound 1, 6 and 7 showed anticonvulsant activity at 300 mg/kg dose at 4 h, but compounds 1 and 7 showed toxicity at 300 mg/kg dose at half an hour. Antimicrobial activities of the compounds were also determined using agar microdilution method. Compound 1 and 5 were found to have the highest antifungal activity among the other compounds.
