Carboxamide

Carboxamides are drugs that can be used as anticonvulsants. In organic chemistry carboxamides (or amino carbonyls) are functional groups with the general structure R-CO-NH₂ with R as an organic substituent.

Two amino acids, asparagine and glutamine, have a carboxamide group in them.

The following are carboxamides:
