ABSTRACT
Epilepsy is a common brain disease that is characterized by recurrent and spontaneous seizures that result from abnormal and excessive synchronization of neuronal activity. Whereas, accumulation of Ca⁺⁺ in presynaptic terminals, leading to improved neurotransmitter release. In additional, depolarization-induced inauguration of the NMDA subtype of the excitatory amino acid receptor, which causes more Ca⁺⁺ influx and neuronal activation. The main aim of this study to focus on the deactivation of Ca⁺⁺ influx and prevent the augmentation of neuron activation. However, we performed molecular modeling of  novel 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives keeping in view structural requirement of pharmacophore and Quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) and evaluated in silico anticonvulsant activity. Docking procedures allow virtually screening a database of compounds and predict the strongest binder based on various scoring functions. In the docking study, targeted ligand  produced significantly affinity with the calcium channel receptor which is slightly higher than the phenytoin drug. A computational study was also carried out including prediction of pharmacokinetic properties, toxicity and bioactivity studies. All above parameter was calculated which exhibited slightly excellent compared than standard Phenytoin drug. The above observation suggested that these compounds would serve as better lead for anticonvulsant screening for future drug design perspective.

ABSTRACT
A series of novel 1, 3, 4-thiadiazole derivatives were designed keeping in view the structural requirement of pharmacophore and Quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) and evaluated in silico anticonvulsant activity. Docking procedures allow virtually screening a database of compounds and predict the strongest binder based on various scoring functions. In the docking study, the most active compounds of the series were, VR 2, VR 3 and VR 4 exhibited good binding properties. Result reveals that the protein-ligand interaction energy of derivatives VR 2, VR 3 and VR 4 were -7.08 kcal/mol, -6.64 kcal/mol and -7.42 kcal/mol respectively, which is slightly higher than the standard anticonvulsant phenytoin drug as -6.03 kcal/mol, so that the derivatives have satisfactory affinity with established convulsant receptor namely Na/H exchanger. A computational study was also carried out including prediction of pharmacokinetic properties, toxicity and bioactivity studies. The percentage of absorption (%ABS) was calculatedand observed that all titled compounds exhibited a better %ABS ranging 92.66, 85.81, 90.07 and 86.98, respectively and compared than standard Phenytoin drug as %ABS 88.92. Although VR 1 had slightly lesser protein affinity, its other pharmacological parameters were same like other screened compounds. The above observation suggested that these compounds would serve as better lead compound for anticonvulsant screening for future drug design perspective.
