چکیده مقاله:
Aims: Oxidative stress plays an important role in pathogenesis of seizure. In this study the effect of ethyl acetate fraction of Tanacetum parthenium against brain oxidative damage in pentylenetetrazole-induced (PTZ) seizure model in mice was investigated. Materials and methods: In this experimental study, mice were distributed into 6 groups: 1) Control, 2) PTZ, 3-6) Fraction+PTZ. The animals of 4 recent groups, besides PTZ received 25, 50,100 and 200 mg/kg of fraction. PTZ (100 mg/kg) and fraction (30 min before PTZ) were administered interapretoneally for 3 weeks. Delay in onset of Minimal Clonic Seizur (MCS), Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizure (GTCS) and the level of oxidative stress indexes in cortical and hippocampal tissues were measured. Results: Pretreatment with fraction resulted in postponing the onset seizures in Fraction+PTZ groups compared to PTZ group (P<0.05, P<0.01 and P<0.001). In addition, all doses of fraction reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration and increased the level of total thiol and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activity in brain tissues of Fraction+PTZ groups with respect to PTZ group (P<0.05, P<0.01 and P<0.001). Conclusion: Ethyl acetate fraction of Tanacetum parthenium attenuated PTZ- stimulated seizures through improving brain tissue oxidative stress.

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. ...
