A series of new 3-hydroxy-6-hydroxymethyl/methyl-2-substituted 4H-pyran-4-ones were synthesized and prepared by the reaction of kojic acid or allomaltol with piperidine derivatives and formaline as potential anticonvulsant compounds. The structure of the synthesized compounds was confirmed using the elemental analysis results and the spectroscopic techniques such as IR, (1)H-NMR, and ESI-MS. Anticonvulsant activities were examined by maximal electroshock (MES) and subcutaneous Metrazol (scMet)-induced seizure tests. Neurotoxicity was determined by the rotorod toxicity test. All these tests were performed in accordance with the procedures of the Antiepileptic Drug Development (ADD) program. According to the activity studies and at all doses, 3-hydroxy-2-[(4-hydroxy-4-phenylpiperidin-1-yl)methyl]-6-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one (compound 1), 2-{[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-3,6-dihydropyridin-1(2H)-yl]methyl}-3-hydroxy-6-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one (compound 6), 2-[(4-acetyl-4-phenylpiperidin-1-yl)methyl]-3-hydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)-4H-pyran-4-one (compound 11), and 2-{[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-3,6-dihydropyridin-1(2H)-yl] methyl}-3-hydroxy-6-hydroxymethyl-4H-pyran-4-one (compound 12) were found to have anticonvulsant activity against MES-induced seizures at 4 h. Also, 2-{ [4-(4-bromophenyl)-4-hydroxypiperidin-1-yl]methyl}-3-hydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)-4H-pyran-4-one (compound 8) was determined to be the most active compound against scMet-induced seizures at all doses at 0.5 and 4 h. In the rotorod neurotoxicity screening, all compounds showed no toxicity at all doses.
