Abstract: On the basis of systematic modification of the structure of componds of antiepilepsirine type, more than 200 cinnamamides were synthesized and tested by animal assay (maximal electroshock seizure, MES).Pharmacological evaluation showed that the configuration and the substituents on the phenyl ring and the nitrogen of amides, and substituents on the double bond displayed an important effect on the anticonvulsant activity.For studying the effect of the modification of structure to anticonvulsant activity, Hansch approach was employed to study the QSAR among 38 cinnamamides, and Hopfinger's MSA was employed to study the MSA-QSAR among 26 cinnamamides.

Key words: Cinnamamides, Anticonvulsant activity, Cinf iguration, QSAR, MAS
