Abstract Thirty-three N 3-2-, -3- or -4-substituted aryl-N 1-(alkyl/aryl/substituted aryl)-triazene N 1-oxides were synthesized and evaluated for their anticonvulsant and monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitory activities. Most of the compounds exhibited MAO inhibitory activity in vitro, and kinetic studies conducted with N 3-4-chlorophenyl-N 1-methyltriazene N 1-oxide, the most potent inhibitor, showed that the inhibition is non-competitive in nature. The MAO inhibiting activity of the compounds correlated well with their anticonvulsant effect against maximal electroshock-induced seizures in rats. Acute toxicity studies indicate that the compounds have a wide margin of safety.
