Popis: A series of novel (−)-verbenone hydrazones was designed and synthesized via condensation of terpenoid with hydrazides derived from phenoxyacetic acid. The structure of target compounds was confirmed by 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR analysis, Raman and FT-IR spectroscopy, electrospray ionization method and fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectrometry. Thermal properties of (−)-verbenone hydrazones 3a–3e were estimated by differential scanning calorimetry and their purity by HPLC coupled to mass spectrometry. Verbenone hydrazones were revealed to exist as Z/E geometrical isomers about C═N bond and cis/trans amide conformers. Verbenone derivatives were estimated as potential anticonvulsant agents after their oral administration against pentylenetetrazole and maximal electroshock-induced seizures in mice. Analgesic effect of hydrazones was studied by topical application on models of allyl isothiocyanate and capsaicin-induced pain. The present findings indicate that verbenone hydrazones contribute to seizure protection both at short (6 h) and long (24 h) time periods by blocking chemical- and electroshock-induced convulsions. Binding of compounds 3a–3e to TRPA1/TRPV1 ion channels was suggested as a feasible mechanism explaining their significant analgesic activity.
