Abstract

Epilepsy is one of the most important neurological disorders with high prevalence worldwide. Many epileptic patients are not completely treated with available drugs and need multiple therapies. Also, many antiepileptic drugs have shown unwanted side effects and drug interactions. Therefore there are continuing interests to find new anticonvulsant drugs. Triazole ring has been found in the structure of many compounds with diverse biological effects. Due to the success of several triazole-containing drugs that entered the pharmaceutical market as CNS-active drugs, this class of heterocyclic compounds has great importance for discovery and development of new anticonvulsant drugs. In this article, we have tried to summarize the latest efforts which have been made in the design and development of triazole-derived anticonvulsant agents. © 2016 Elsevier Masson SAS.
