Abstract Twelve new analogues of gabapentin (GBP) derived hydrazide-hydrazone scaffolds were produced by using various electronically and structurally divergent aromatic aldehydes. All the hydrazones were obtained in moderate to good yields (66–82%) by heating the GBP hydrazide with respective aldehydes to a temperature of 45–65 °C for 4–7 h. Further, the compounds were explored for their antimicrobial activity on three different Gram positive (Micrococcus luteus, Streptococcus mutans, Enterococcus faecalis) and Gram negative bacterial strains (Salmonella enterica, Alcaligenes faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa). The antibacterial results obtained were found to be good against Gram positive bacteria when compared to Gram negative bacteria. Moreover, the compounds were also screened for antioxidant activity at four different concentrations using the DPPH method and the results showed that some of the compounds were moderately active.

1 Introduction Gabapentin (GBP) is a structural analogue of the inhibitory neurotransmitter γ-amino-butyric acid (GABA) and chemically called as 1-(aminomethyl) cyclohexane acetic acid (Fig. 1) [1]. It is available with the trade name Neurontin and other available brands include Horizant and Gralise. It was first approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in 1993 as an oral add-on therapy for the treatment of partial seizures and later in 2000 for peripheral neuropathy.

It is probably one of the most effective agents of the newer generation of antiepileptics used for the treatment of neuropathic pain [2, 3]. The analogues of gabapentin were studied for various other purposes such as nitric oxide release derivative [4] and as a cisplatin-induced neuropathic pain model [5]. This was the recently developed derivative of gabapentin for neuropathic pain model and involves the reaction of amine functionality of gabapentin with salicylaldehyde [5]. Schwarz et al. [6] have synthesized novel cyclopropyl β-amino acid analogues of gabapentin which target the
