The anticonvulsant spectrum of the original promising anticonvulsant N-[(2,4-dichlorophenyl) methyl]-2-(2,4-dioxo-1H-quinazolin-3-yl) acetamide was studied. The compound had a pronounced anticonvulsant effect, significantly reducing the mortality of mice in models of seizures induced by pentylenetetrazole, picrotoxin, strychnine, and caffeine. In the thiosemicarbazideinduced seizure model, the test compound did not reduce mortality. The obtained results indicated that the mechanism of anticonvulsant action involved GABA-ergic (effective in models of pentylenetetrazole and picrotoxin-induced seizures), glycinergic (efficiency in the strychnine model of paroxysms), and adenosinergic (effectiveness in the model of caffeine induced seizures). Molecular docking of a promising anticonvulsant to anticonvulsant biotargets follow the mechanisms of chemo-induced seizures, namely GABA, glycine, and adenosine receptors type A2A, GABAAT, and BCAT enzymes. The conformity between in vivo and in silico studies results was revealed.
