Abstract
A series of 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)indane derivatives 1a-f, 2a-e and 3a -f were synthesized to investigate their central muscle relaxant and a nticonvulsant activities. The synthesized compounds 1a-f, 2a-e and 3a- f were found to be devoid of central muscle relaxant activity using me probamate (100 mg/kg) as a reference standard. However, they showed re markable anticonvulsant properties in a dose of 80 mg/kg (sc) compared with diphenylhydantoin sodium (80 mg/kg) as a reference standard.
