Isatin (1H-indole-2,3-dione) and its analog, are versatile substrates which acts as a precursor for large number of pharmacologically active compounds, thus having a significant importance in the synthesis of different heterocyclic compound.Isatin shows varity of biological activities such as antimicrobial, anticancer, antiviral, anticonvulsant, antiinflammatory and analgesic.This review focused on isatin synthetic methods and its biological activity as anticonvulsant. An Isatin derivative shows potent anticonvulsant activity at low concentration among all the derivatives, Schiff bases are found to be most potent anticonvulsant agent.
