Since the non methylated variant is active in some way by being an anticovulsent I would expect this to show some form CNS activity as well which I would assume at first glance to show some form of sedation since many anticovulsents act as glutamate inhibitors IIRC. I have to reset alot of stuff on Pubchem account and what not before I will be able to bring up any Bioassays of the compound.
Since imine formation with the carbonyl should proceed with no problem I would bet my life on this being aminated right along side of any other ketones present. The synthesis I viewed of it used Leuckart reaction on dibenzylphenone to produce the given amine.
It is used for a few different things as a reagent as it appears so you may be able to pull up an MSDS somewhere on the compound.
