Valproates are commonly used to treat various forms of epilepsy. Problems accompanying their clinical application include drug resistance, adverse effects, acute and chronic toxicity. Safer anticonvulsants with improved efficacy can be obtained through the chemical modification of valproic acid structure. Thiadiazole-linked amide derivatives of valproates hold great promise because 1,3,4-thiadiazole can improve the drug’s bioavailability and reduce its toxicity. The aim of this work was to synthesize a novel amide derivative of valproic acid and 1,3,4-thiadiazole exerting antiepileptic activity. The chemical structure of the synthesized valproate was studied by IR, proton NMR and 13С-NMR-spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The purity and individuality of the compound was confirmed by thin-layer and high-performance liquid chromatography. Its antiepileptic activity was assessed in the test with intraperitoneally injected 250 mg/kg isoniazid and subsequent Probit analysis. The synthesized N-(5-ethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-2-propyl pentane amide (valprazolamide) had the following characteristics. ESI+MS: m/z 256.1 [M + H]+; MRM transitions: m/z 256.1 — m/z 81.0 and m/z 130.1. The valproate exerted antiepileptic activity against isoniazid-induced seizures in mice. In the test with isoniazid, ED50 of intraperitoneally injected VPZ was 126.8 mg/kg (95% CI: 65.5–245.4). Its therapeutic index was 7.3.

Background:: This article concentrates on the processes occurring in the medium around the cancer cell and the transfer of glycoside amides through their cell membrane. They are obtained by modification of natural glycoside-nitriles (cyano-glycosides). Hydrolysis of starting materials in the blood medium and associated volume around physiologically active healthy and cancer cells, based on quantum-chemical semi-empirical methods, is considered. Objective:: Based on the fact that the cancer cell feeds primarily on carbohydrates, it is likely that organisms have adapted to take food containing nitrile glycosides and / or modified forms to counteract "external" bioactive activity. Cancers, for their part, have evolved to create conditions around their cells that eliminate their active apoptotic forms. This is far more appropriate for them than changing their entire enzyme regulation to counteract it. In this way, it protects itself and the gene sets and develops according to its instructions. Methods:: Derived pedestal that closely defines the processes of hydrolysis in the blood, the transfer of a specific molecular hydrolytic form to the cancer cell membrane and with the help of time-dependent density-functional quantum- chemical methods, its passage and the processes of re-hydrolysis within the cell itself, to forms causing chemical apoptosis of the cell - independent of its non-genetic set, which seeks to counteract the process. Results:: Used in oncology it could turn a cancer from a lethal to a chronic disease (such as diabetes). The causative agent and conditions for the development of the disease are not eliminated, but the amount of cancer cells could be kept low for a long time (even a lifetime). Conclusion:: The amide derivatives of nitrile glycosides exhibit anti-cancer activity, the cancer cell probably seeks to displace hydrolysis of these derivatives in a direction that would not pass through its cell membrane and the amide- carboxyl derivatives of nitrile glycosides could deliver extremely toxic compounds within the cancer cell itself and thus block and / or permanently damage its normal physiology.
