Anticonvulsant 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 کاملAllopurinol does not affect the anticonvulsant activity of carbamazepine and valproate in maximal electroshock-induced convulsions in mice.
Allopurinol, an inhibitor of xanthine oxidase, is indicated in the management of patients with elevated serum and urinary uric acid levels. It was also reported to be beneficial in patients with epilepsy when added to traditional antiepileptic drug. Here, we investigated the effect of allopurinol upon the electrical seizure threshold and its effect on the protective efficacy of common antiepile...
متن کاملPaeoniflorin Diminishes Maximal Electroshock - and PTZ - induced Convulsions in Mice
Paeonia Radix is one of the most commonly used herbal drug in traditional Chinese medicine1 and folkloric medicine of different countries since ancient times2. A number of chemical and pharmacological studies have been conducted on the roots of Paeonia species. Monoterpen glycosides are the active constituents, among them; paeoniflorin is the main compound in genus Paeonia3. In traditional medi...
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 کاملNefopam enhances the protective activity of antiepileptics against maximal electroshock-induced convulsions in mice.
Nefopam is a centrally acting non-opioid analgesic with a mechanism of action that is not completely understood. Adverse effects associated with the therapeutic use and overdose of nefopam are mainly associated with the central nervous system, such as hallucinations, cerebral edema and convulsions. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of nefopam on the electrical threshold and its inf...
