Eight 1‐aryl‐3‐(2‐pyridyl)thiobarbiturates were synthesized and evaluated for their anticonvulsant property and their ability to inhibit succinate dehydrogenase activity of rat brain homogenates. These substituted thiobarbiturates (100 mg./kg., i.p.) provided 20–60% protection against pentylenetetrazol‐induced convulsions in albino mice. Low toxicity of these compounds was reflected by their high approximate LD 50 values which were found to range from 500–1000 mg./kg. All substituted thiobarbiturates (Im M ) inhibited in vitro succinate dehydrogenase activity and the degree of inhibition ranged from 10–72%.
