| Izvleček: | New benztriazoles with a mercapto-triazole and other heterocycle substituents were synthesized and evaluated for their anticonvulsant activity and neurotoxicity by using the maximal electroshock (MES), subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ), and rotarod neurotoxicity (TOX) tests. Among the compounds studied, compound 2-((1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)thio)-N-(6-((3-fluorobenzyl) oxy)benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)acetamide (5i) and 2-((1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)thio)-N-(6-((4-fluorobenzyl)oxy) benzo[d] thiazol-2-yl)acetmide (5j) were the most potent, with an ED50 value of 50.8 mg/kg and 54.8 mg/kg in the MES test and 76.0 mg/kg and 52.8 mg/kg in the scPTZ seizures test, respectively. They also showed lower neurotoxicity and, therefore a higher protective index. In particular, compound 5j showed high protective index (PI) values of 8.96 in the MES test and 9.30 in the scPTZ test, which were better than those of the standard drugs used as positive controls in this study.
