Anticonvulsant activity of β-caryophyllene against pentylenetetrazol-induced seizures
Increasing evidence suggests that plant-derived extracts and their isolated components are useful for treatment of seizures and, hence, constitute a valuable source of new antiepileptic drugs with improved efficacy and better adverse effect profile. β-Caryophyllene is a natural bicyclic sesquiterpene that occurs in a wide range of plant species and displays a number of biological actions, inclu...
متن کاملAnticonvulsant Activity of Viola tricolor against Seizures Induced by Pentylenetetrazol and Maximal Electroshock in Mice
Background: Recently, there has been much more interest in the use of medicinal plants in search of novel therapies for human neurodegenerative diseases such as epilepsy. In the present study, we investigated the anticonvulsant effects of Viola tricolor (V. tricolor) on seizure models induced by pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) and maximal electroshock stimulation (MES). Methods: Totally, 260 mice were ...
متن کاملAnticonvulsant Effect of Guaifenesin against Pentylenetetrazol-Induced Seizure in Mice
Background: There have been some reports about the possible N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonist activity of Guaifenesin. As drugs with a similar structure to Guaifenesin (i.e. Felbamate) and those with NMDA antagonist activity have been clinically used as anticonvulsants, the aim of this study was to determine whether Guaifenesin has an anticonvulsant effect in an animal model of seizure. ...
متن کاملDoes vigabatrin possess an anticonvulsant action against pentylenetetrazol-induced seizures in developing rats?
Anticonvulsant action of vigabatrin (300, 600, 900 and/or 1200 mg/kg i.p.), an inhibitor of GABA-transaminase, was studied in a model of motor sezures elicited by pentylenetetrazol. Five age groups of rats (7, 12, 18, 25 and 90 days old) received a s.c. injection of pentylenetetrazol 4, 6 and/or 24 hours after vigabatrin administration. The incidence of minimal, predominantly clonic seizures wa...
متن کاملRosmarinic acid is anticonvulsant against seizures induced by pentylenetetrazol and pilocarpine in mice
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease characterized by spontaneous recurrent seizures (SRS). Current anticonvulsant drugs are ineffective in nearly one-third of patients and may cause significant adverse effects. Rosmarinic acid is a naturally occurring substance which displays several biological effects including antioxidant and neuroprotective activity. Since oxidative stress and excitot...
