Cyperus articulatus (CA) rhizomes have demonstrated different properties on nervous system. However, the leaves still have not studied to treat epilepsy. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of CA ethanolic extract on pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) induced seizures in mice as well as measuring
The ethanol extract of Cyperus rotundus (EECR) was tested for possible pharmacological effects on experimental animals. EECR significantly potentiated the sleeping time of mice induced by standard hypnotics, viz. pentobarbitone sodium, diazepam, and meprobamate in a dose dependent manner. EECR
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder affecting more than 50 million people worldwide, of whom 80% live in low- and middle-income countries.

Volatile oil exhibited depressant effect on central nervous system of rats and mice. It blocked CAR in 80% animals and potentiated effects of chlorpromazine hydrochloride on CAR and pentobarbitone induced hypnosis in mice. It exhibited hypothermic and analgesic activities and potentiated morphine
