Synthesis and anticonvulsant potential of certain new 6-aryl-9-substituted-6,9-diazaspiro[4.5]decane-8,10-diones (6a-l) and 1-aryl-4-substituted-1,4-diazaspiro[5.5] undecane-3,5-diones (6m-x) are reported. The intermediates 1-[(aryl)(cyanomethyl)amino] cycloalkanecarboxamides (3a-f) were prepared via adopting Strecker synthesis on the proper cycloalkanone followed by partial hydrolysis of the obtained nitrile functionality and subsequent N-cyanomethylation. Compounds 3a-f were subjected to complete nitrile hydrolysis to give the respective carboxylic acid derivatives 4a-f which were cyclized under mild conditions to give the spiro compounds 5a-f. Ultimately, compounds 5a-f were alkylated or aralkylated to give the target compounds 6a-i and 6m-u. On the other hand, compounds 6j-l and 6v-x were synthesized from the intermediates 5a-f through alkylation, dehydration and finally tetrazole ring formation. Anticonvulsant screening of the target compounds 6a-x revealed that compound 6g showed an ED50 of 0.0043 mmol/kg in the scPTZ screen, being about 14 and 214 fold more potent than the reference drugs, Phenobarbital (ED50 = 0.06 mmol/kg) and Ethosuximide (ED50 = 0.92 mmol/kg), respectively. Compound 6e exhibited an ED50 of 0.019 mmol/kg, being about 1.8 fold more potent than that of the reference drug, Diphenylhydantoin (ED50 = 0.034 mmol/kg) in the MES screen. Interestingly, all the test compounds 6a-x did not show any minimal motor impairment at the maximum administered dose in the neurotoxicity screen.
