After 30 minutes, a 50 Hz, 40 mA electroshock was applied for 0.4 s through corneal electrodes. The number of animals that developed tonic extensor convulsion of the hind-limbs was registered, percent inhibition was calculated, and EOr n values were determined by the method of Litchfield and Wilcoxon /Litchfield, J.T., Wilcoxon, F.A.: A simplified method of evaluating dose-effect experiments, J.

Seizure response was assessed using the following scale: 0 = normal behaviour, 1 = wild running, 2 = clonus, 3 = tonic flexor seizure, 4 = tonic extensor seizure. The maximum response during the SO s exposure was recorded for each animal. Lethality was also noted.

It is clearly shown that the same extent of neuroprotection can be achieved by significantly lower doses of the novel compounds than that of the reference compound. Thus, the novel 8-substituted-9H- -1, 3-dioxolo/4 , 5-h//2 , 3/benzodiazepine derivatives of the formula I can be used as active ingredients of pharmaceutical compositions . On the basis of the above test results, the novel compounds of the invention - due to their competitive AMPA/kainate antagonist property - have considerable muscle relaxant, neuroprotective and anticonvulsive effects. Consequently, the novel compounds can be used for the treatment of any disease such as epilepsy, diseases resulting in muscle spasm, neurodegenerative diseases, states after stroke, migraine and vomiting, wherein the inhibition of the AMPA/kainate receptors may have a favourable effect. Moreover, the acute toxicity of the compounds of the formula I is essentially lower than that of the most efficient known AMPA/kainate antagonist 2 , 3-benzodiazepines . This property renders a significant therapeutical advantage, in contrast to the known compounds, in the treatment of clinical pictures listed above.
