Effect of intracerebroventricular injection of aqueous extract and essential oil of Pulicaria gnaphalodes on PTZ-induced seizures in male rat

چکیده مقاله:
Introduction: Pulicaria gnaphalodes contains terpenoids and flavonoids. Referring to the role of benzodiazepine (BZD) receptor ligands as drug candidates in the treatment of epilepsy, anxiety and sleep disturbances, and since natural flavonoids are among these candidates and hold promise as BZD receptor ligands, this research was done to assess the effects of aqueous extract and essential oil of Pulicaria gnaphalodes on seizures induced by pentylenetetrazol (PTZ). Methods: In this research, male Wistar rats (200±20 g) were injected intracerebroventrically by vehicle, aqueous extract (125, 250 and 500 μg) or essential oil (0.125%, 0.25% and 0.5%) (1 μL volume in each), before intraperitoneal administration of PTZ (80 mg/kg) for induction of seizure. Then, onset times of myoclonic (stages 1, 2 and 3) and tonicclonic (stages 4 and 5) seizures were recorded during 20 minutes after PTZ administration. Data were analyzed by oneway analysis of variance. Results: The results of this study showed that aqueous extract and essential oil of Pulicaria gnaphalodes increase initiation time of PTZ-induced myoclonic and tonic-clonic seizures. Conclusion: Aqueous extract and essential oil of Pulicaria gnaphalodes probably have dose-dependent anticonvulsant property.

Introduction: Ketoprofen is an NSAID and selective COX-1 inhibitor. In our previous study the role of flunixin meglumine, a nonselective COX inhibitor was studied on seizure and its anticonvulsant effects were confirmed. Therefore this research is performed to assess the role of a selective COX-1 inhibitor, ketoprofen in treatment of seizures induced by PTZ. Methods: In this research, male ...

Introduction: Flunixin Meglumine (FM) is a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) and nonselective cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor. Since it has been suggested that COX enzyme plays a role in seizure, this research is performed to assess the therapeutic effects that this compound might have in seizures induced by PTZ. Methods: In this research, male wistar rats (200 ± 20 g) were given int...
