Abstract

This study aimed to synthesize new anticonvulsive agents as potential dual acting prodrugs. For the synthesis of ester or amide prodrug types, p-hydroxybenzaldehyde or valproic acid was coupled with clinically usable anticonvulsants or GABAmimetics with use of DCC/DMAP coupling methods. Also their anticonvulsive activities were evaluated.
