OBJECTIVE
Delphinium nordhagenii belongs to family Ranunculaceae, it is widely found in tropical areas of Pakistan. Other species of Delphinium are reported as anticonvulsant and are traditionally used in the treatment of epilepsy. Delphinium nordhagenii is used by local healer in Pakistan but never
Here, we explore the mechanism of action of isoxylitone (ISOX), a molecule discovered in the plant Delphinium denudatum, which has been shown to have anticonvulsant properties. Patch-clamp electrophysiology assayed the activity of ISOX on voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) in both cultured
Delphinium denudatum Wall. (Ranunculaceae) is a medicinal herb used for the treatment of epilepsy in the subcontinent. The present study reports the anticonvulsant activities in the maximal electroshock test (MEST) and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (PTZ), bicuculline (BIC), picrotoxin
Dried roots of Delphinium denudatum Wall. are a popular folk remedy for the treatment of epilepsy in the traditional Unani system of medicine in the sub-continent. We carried out anticonvulsant screening of the ethanolic extract (EE) and aqueous fraction (AF) of this plant utilising the maximal
Roots of Delphinium denudatum W. are used for the treatment of epilepsy by traditional healers in subcontinent. Aqueous fraction (AF) isolated from D. denudatum has previously shown significant anticonvulsant activity in in vivo and in vitro models of seizures. We investigated anticonvulsant effects
In this report we investigated the effects of the aqueous fraction (AF) isolated from Delphinium denudatum on sustained repetitive firing in cultured neonatal rat hippocampal pyramidal neurons. Blockade of SRF is one of the basic mechanisms of antiepileptic drugs (AED) at the cellular level. The
The effects were investigated of a partially purified subfraction (FS-1) isolated from Delphinium denudatum on sustained repetitive firing (SRF) of cultured neonatal rat hippocampal pyramidal neurons. The blockade of sustained repetitive firing is one of the basic mechanisms of antiepileptic drugs
