Abstract
According to the present invention, anticonvulsant compounds N-acetyl,N'-benzylglycinamide and N-benzyloxycarbonylglycinamide-Z-glycinamide are disclosed. The present invention also discloses an anticonvulsant pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of at least one active ingredient selected from N-acetyl,N'-benzylglycinamide and N-benzyloxycarbonylglycinamide-Z-glycinamide and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent. The present invention provides a method of controlling convulsions in a mammal by administering to the mammal an effective amount of antiepileptic compounds N-acetyl,N'-benzylglycinamide or N-benzyloxycarbonylglycinamide-Z-glycinamide. Combinations of the anticonvulsion compounds can also be administered. The convulsions may be due to epilepsy, febrile convulsions or convulsions precipitated by irritative lesions in the brain. Further the composition may be used to prevent migraine and to treat chronic pain and bipolar disorder.
