Treating Epilepsy with Natural Products: Nonsense or Possibility?

Epilepsy is a neurological disease characterized by recurrent seizures that can lead to uncontrollable muscle twitching, changes in sensitivity sensory perceptions, and disorders of consciousness. Although modern medicine has effective antiepileptic drugs, the need for accessible cost-effective medication urgent, products derived from plants could offer solution. For this review, we have focused on natural compounds shown anticonvulsant activity vivo models epilepsy at relevant doses. In some cases, effects been confirmed clinical data. The results our search are summarized tables according their molecular targets. We critically evaluated data present, identified most promising therapeutic candidates, discussed these text. Their perspectives supported both pharmacokinetic properties potential interactions. This review intended serve as basis future research into related disorders.
