Glycyl urea derivatives as anti-convulsants

Abstract

A class of glycyl urea derivatives is described having use in treatment of CNS dysfunctions such as epilepsy and convulsive disorders. Compounds of interest are those of the formula ##STR1## wherein each of R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 is a group independently selected from hydrido, alkyl, aralkyl, aryloxyalkyl and arylthioalkyl, any one of which groups having a substitutable position may be substituted with one or more radicals selected from halo, alkyl of one to about ten carbon atoms, alkenyl of two to about ten carbon atoms, alkynyl of two to about ten carbon atoms, haloalkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, alkylsulfinyl and alkylsulfonyl; or a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt thereof; with the proviso that when each of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 is ethyl, then R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 cannot be hydrido simultaneously.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
