Hexitols and hexitol esters for use as antiepileptics

摘要

The invention concerns hexitol esters of a branched alkylcarboxylic acid having between 5 and 8 carbon atoms, in which optionally two adjacent alcohol groups in each case are bonded to each other by acetal or ketal bridges. The invention further concerns hexitols in which two adjacent alcohol groups in each case are bonded to each other by acetal or ketal bridges. The invention finally concerns the preparation of these compounds and their use as antiepilectics.
