The main moto of the present study is to evaluate anticonvulsant property Ficus carica fruits in Swiss albino mice using Maximal electroshock seizures (MES) model. Animals were divided into 5 groups n=6 each Phenytoin (25 mg/kg i.p) as standard drug. Aqueous extract was given at three doses 250 mg/kg, 500 and 750 p.o. test samples had been one hour prior induction convulsions. reveals that aque...

Considering the prevalence of epilepsy and problems associated with currently available antiepileptic drugs like side effects, resistance, safety issue high cost, herbal medicine fewer complications could be very appropriate alternative. Therefore in present study, we have examined properties ethanolic extract leaves mice using maximal electroshock seizers (MES)test, Pentylenetetrazole (PTZ), i...

Epilepsy is the most frequnt nearological affiction and afflicts 1% about of the worlds population. Currently there is an urgent need for the development of novel anticonvulsants with higher levels of potency and lower levels of toxicity. In this paper, a series of new 6-(substituted-phenyl)thiazolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazole derivatives were synthesized and tested for their anticonvulsant activity ...

In Iranian traditional medicine, plants belonging to Inula genus have been used for the treatment of seizure. We decided to investigate the anticonvulsant activity of seven species from this genus to find an effective remedy for seizure with less adverse effects compared to available medicines. Aqueous and methanolic extracts of Inula britannica, Inula helenium, Inula viscidula, Inula oculus-ch...

The effect of a selective adenosine antagonist, 8-cyclopentyl 1,3-dimethylxanthine (8-CPT) was used to examine involvement of adenosine in ictal and postictal events in rats subjected to maximal electroshock (MES). MES induces the ictal event of hindlimb tonic extension (HLTE) followed by postictal depression (PID). 8-CPT 10 mg/kg, ip produced maximal significant reduction of PID without affect...
