the anticonvulsant activity of astragalus squarrosus total extract was assessed in pentylenetetrazole (ptz)-induced convulsion in mice, with diazepam as the standard drug, while mechanistic studies were also conducted using flumazenil, a gaba a-benzodiazepine receptor complex site antagonist. the extract produced protection against convulsion at 400 mg/kg, comparable with protection of benzodia...

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 ...

a series of 3-alkoxy-4-(4-(hexyloxy/heptyloxy) phenyl)-4h-1,2,4-triazole was synthesized. the anticonvulsant effect and neurotoxicity of the compounds were calculated with maximal electroshock (mes) test and rotarod tests with intraperitoneally injected mice. among the synthesized compounds, compound 3-heptyloxy-4-(4-(hexyloxy) phenyl)-4h-1,2,4-triazole (5f) was the most active one and also had...

a review of the publications in traditional medicine indicates that the root of glycyrrhiza glabra l., fabaceae, is recommended for treatment of epilepsy. as a renewable source, the leaves of g. glabra var. glandulifera growing in iran were examined for possible anticonvulsant activity. the anticonvulsant activity of the leaves’ ethanol extract and dichloromethane, f1, n-hexane, f1a, and methan...

anticonvulsant activity of 7-phenyl-5h-thiazolo[5,4-e][1,2,3,4]tetrazolo[5,1-c]pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]diazepine (5) and 7-phenyl-5h-thiazolo[5,4-e][1,3,4]triazolo[5,1-c]pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]diazepines (6a-d) was measured against pentylenetetrazole (ptz)-induced seizures in mice. intraperitoneal injections of different doses (12.5, 25 and 50 mg/kg, i.p.) of test compounds decreased ptz-induced seizure...

two novel 3-amino-5-(4-choloro-2-phenoxyphenyl)-4h-1,2,4-triazole derivatives were prepared and their anticonvulsant activity was measured by evaluation of the ability of these compounds to protect mice against convulsion induced by lethal doses of pentylenetetrazole (ptz). diazepam (sigma) was considered as a positive control drug with anticonvulsant effect [ed50 = 1.2 (0.5-1.9) mg/kg]. amongs...

considerable interest has been focused on the triazole structure, which has been known to possess a broad spectrum of biological activities such as antitumor, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiviral, and anticonvulsant activities. before this, several heterocyclic compounds containing triazole were synthesized that had shown considerable anticonvulsant activity. as part of our continuous re...

Anticonvulsant activity of 7-phenyl-5H-thiazolo[5,4-e][1,2,3,4]tetrazolo[5,1-c]pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]diazepine (5) and 7-phenyl-5H-thiazolo[5,4-e][1,3,4]triazolo[5,1-c]pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]diazepines (6a-d) was measured against pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced seizures in mice. Intraperitoneal injections of different doses (12.5, 25 and 50 mg/kg, i.p.) of test compounds decreased PTZ-induced seizure...
