Abstrakt: Several 2‐(substituted alkoxy/hydrazinocarbonyl acetanilidothio)benzoxazoles/benzothiazoles were synthesized and characterized by their sharp melting points, elemental analyses, and IR spectra. All thiobenzoxazoles/benzothiazoles possessed low anticonvulsant activity, which was reflected by the 10‐40% protection afforded by these compounds against pentylenetetrazol‐induced convulsions. All thiobenzoxazoles/benzothiazoles inhibited selectively the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)‐dependent oxidation of pyruvate, DL‐isocitrate, and α‐ketoglutarate by rat brain homogenates. NAD‐independent oxidation of succinate remained unaltered. All 2‐(substituted hydrazinocarbonyl acetanilidothio)benzoxazoles/benzothiazoles inhibited monoamine oxidase activity of rat brain homogenates. Greater monoamine oxidase inhibition was observed with thiobenzothiazoles than with the corresponding thiobenzoxazoles. The low anticonvulsant activity possessed by these thiobenzoxazoles/benzothiazoles was found to be unrelated with their ability to inhibit cellular respiratory and monoamine oxidase activities of rat brain homogenates.
