    Abstract:
    A series of N-(pyridine-2-yl) derivatives of 2-azaspiro[4.4]nonane- (1a-e), 2-azaspiro[4.5]decane- (2a-e) and 6-methyl-2-azaspiro[4.5]decane-1,3-dione (3a-e) were synthesized and tested for their anticonvulsant activity in the maximum electroshock (MES) and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ) seizure threshold tests. To explain the possible mechanism of action, the most active compounds N-(3-methylpyridine-2-yl)-2-azaspiro[4.4]nonane-1,3-dione (1b), N-(3-methylpyridine-2-yl)-2-azaspiro[4.5]decane-1,3-dione (2b), N-(4-methylpyridine-2-yl)-2-azaspiro[4.5]decane-1,3-dione (2c), and N-(3-methylpyridine-2-yl)-6-methyl-2-azaspiro[4.5]decane-1,3-dione (3b) were tested in vitro for their influence on voltage-sensitive calcium channel receptors, however, they revealed low affinities. For all synthesized compounds the lipophilicity was determined by use of RP-TLC method. The correlation between the lipophilicity and anticonvulsant activity was obtained--the higher the lipophilicity the stronger the anticonvulsant efficacy.
