Synthesis and neurotropic activity of the derivatives of fused triazolo[4,3-c]- and triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines

Abstract

The methods for preparation of fused triazolo[4,3-c]- and triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines were developed. The Dimroth rearrangement of these systems was studied. Pharmacological investigation of the synthesized compounds was conducted in known tests, such as antagonism with subcutaneous administration of corazole and the open-field test. The rotating rod method was used to assess the neurotoxicity. Neurotropic properties were found in many derivatives of triazolopyrimidine. They, like diazepam, prevent the occurrence of clonic twitching and corazole-induced clonic convulsions in animals. All selected compounds as well as diazepam exhibit an anxiolytic effect.
