anticonvulsant effect of ferula gummosa root extract against experimental seizures
Authors
abstract
in iranian traditional medicine, there are some report regarding the anticonvulsant effect of ferula gummosa boiss. in this study, anticonvulsant activity, neurological deficits and lethality of the root acetone extract of this plant were evaluated in mice. the extract exhibited dose-dependent prevention of tonic seizures induced by pentylenetetrazole (ed50 = 154.4 mg/kg). however, the extract produced sedation and motor impairment with td50 value of 546 mg/kg. preliminary phytochemical analysis showed the presence of terpenoids, alkaloids and a little amount of cardenolids in the extract. it seems that the anticonvulsant and neurotoxic effects of the extract is related in part to the terpenoid compounds. the acceptable protective index of the extract (3.5) recommends further studies on ferula gummosa

OBJECTIVES Ferula gummosa Boiss is native to central Asia. This plant has traditionally been used in the treatment of many diseases. The antihypoxic and antioxidant activities of Ferula gummosa roots were investigated. MATERIAL AND METHODS 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl radical (DPPH), nitric oxide and hydrogen peroxide scavenging activities, Fe2+ chelating ability, reducing power and hemoglo...
full textEffect of long-term administration of Ferula gummosa root extract on serum oxidant–antioxidant status
Ferula gummosa Boiss is a good source of biologically active compounds such as monoterpene and sesquiterpene derivatives. There are also several reports on antioxidant effects of these compounds. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of daily administration of F. gummosa root hydro-alcoholic extract on serum oxidant-antioxidant status. Twenty four Wistar rats were randomly divided...
