Epilepsy remains a major chronic neurological disorder with significantly higher refractory seizure rate. Based on the folk medicine literature, we explored the anticonvulsant and antiepileptogenic activity of aqueous ethanolic extracts of Fumaria indica, Euphorbia lactea, Euphorbia helioscopia,

The leaf extract of E. neriifolia significantly reduced apomorphine-induced stereotypy in mice at all doses (100, 200, 400 mg/kg body weight) in mice and rats and was devoid of catalepsic effect thereby, suggesting specific dopaminergic receptor modulating activity. The extract (400 mg/kg)

BACKGROUND Euphorbia pulcherrima (EP) belongs to the family: Euphorbiaceae and Genus: Euphorbia. Many species of Euphorbia have been reported as having beneficial properties like anticonvulsive effect, central analgesic properties, antipyretic action, central depressant action and strong sedative

The effect of 72 epileptic patients treated with alkaline extract of Euphorbia fisheriana (EF) was reported. 22 of them with intractable epilepsy were compared with the treatment of both single-blind and placebo. The results showed that the total effective rate with EF was 78%, its marked effective
