Synthesis, Anti-convulsant activity and Molecular Docking Study of novel Thiazole Pyridazinone Hybrid Analogues

Abstract Pyridazinone analogues have been known to be potential candidates for anticonvulsant agents. We have identified several pyridazinone-based anticonvulsant agents. As a continuation to our previous research, a series of hybrid pyridazinone-thiazole connected through amide linkage were designed and synthesized. Among these, compound SP-5F demonstrated significant anticonvulsant activity with median effective dose of 24.38mg/kg (MES) and 88.23mg/kg (scPTz). Results of GABA estimation showed a marked increase in the GABA level when compared with control. Molecular docking studies at the active site of GABA receptor, further confirmed the GABA modulatory effects of SP-5F.
