Abstract:
Background: Despite the fact that anticonvulsant drugs targeting multiple targets have been
used in the health center, their effectiveness and tolerability in the treatment of seizures have not improved
much. As a result, innovative anticonvulsant medicines are still needed urgently to overcome the
significant toxicity of currently existing medications.
Objective: This study aimed to synthesize 2-aminobenzothiazole derivatives as anticonvulsant agents,
compute physicochemical parameters, and conduct a docking investigation.
Methods: Condensing 4-(2-(benzo[d]thiazole-2-ylamino) acetamido) benzoyl chloride with substituted
phenols in acetone in anhydrous potassium carbonate in the presence of potassium iodide in dry acetone
yielded benzothiazole derivatives. IR and NMR spectroscopy were used to characterize the structures of
freshly synthesized substances. To estimate their drug-like candidates, a number of molecular attributes of
these derivatives were computed. The carbonic anhydrase enzyme was used to perform molecular docking
on these synthesized compounds. The synthetic compounds were tested for biological activity, such as
anticonvulsant activity and enzyme inhibitor activity for carbonic anhydrase..
Results: The findings showed that V-5 (4-chlorophenyl 4-(2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-ylamino)acetamido)benzoate)
had the strongest anticonvulsant effect out of all the eight target compounds.
Conclusion: The outcome of this research was that V-5 could be a promising new lead molecule for the
development of anticonvulsant drugs.
