Abstract
A number of aliphatic 2-aminoethanesulphonic acid (taurine) derivatives were tested for their anticonvulsant activity in maximal electroshock seizure and pentylenetetrazole seizure threshold tests in mice. Certain piperidino, benzamido, phthalimido and phenylsuccinylimido derivatives were effective. Phthalimidoethanesulphon-N-methylamide, which inhibited the binding of both taurine and GABA to isolated synaptic membranes, appeared the best anticonvulsant among the derivatives tested.Entities:
