Description

N-(4-Chlorophenyl)phthalimide is a chiral compound that has been studied for its potential use as a cholesterol-lowering drug. This drug has been shown to inhibit the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver and other tissues. N-(4-Chlorophenyl)phthalimide has also been shown to inhibit epileptic seizures in rats, with an effective dose of 10 mg/kg. The primary mechanism by which this drug works is not known, but it may be due to its ability to increase levels of the neurotransmitter γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA). This activity may be due to inhibition of GABA transaminase, which converts GABA into succinic semialdehyde.
