The cyclic structures were synthesized using a three-step protocol that include solvent-free reactions and microwave-assisted heating. The compounds were tested in vivo through maximal electroshock seizure test in mice. All the structures showed activity at the lower doses tested (30£¿mg/Kg) and no signs of neurotoxicity were detected. Compound encoded as 1g displayed strong anticonvulsant effects in comparison with known anticonvulsants (ED50 = 29£¿mg/Kg). First approximations about the mechanisms of action of the cyclic structures were proposed by docking simulations and in vitro assays against sodium channels (patch clamp methods) %U https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14756366.2019.1651722
