Green tea is one of the most-consumed beverages due to its taste and antioxidative polyphenols. However, the protective effects of green tea and its constituent, gallic acid (GA), against kainic acid (KA)-induced seizure have not been studied. We investigated the effect of fresh green tea leaf (GTL)
A schizandrin analogue 9, 1, 2, 3, 10, 11, 12-hexamethoxy-6,7-dihydroxy-cis-6,7-dimethyl dibenzocyclooctadiene, is one of the metabolites of schizandrin with comparable anti-convulsion activity. In this paper, compound 9 was synthesized from gallic acid through the following sequence of reactions:
BACKGROUND
Hedranthera barteri (Hook.f.) Pichon (Apocynaceae) is used traditionally in the treatment of convulsion in Southern Nigeria.
OBJECTIVE
The anticonvulsant activity of the methanol extract of H. barteri leaves was investigated.
METHODS
The anticonvulsant activity of the extract (50,100 and
Anticonvulsant and neuroprotective activity of Phragmanthera austroarabica extract were tested in pentylenetetrazole-kindled mice. All the chemical constituents of the plant extract were identified. Additionally, the extract was standardized and proved to contain total phenolic contents equal to
Hydroxybenzoic and phthalic acids and their related compounds were tested for inhibitory activity to brain glutamate decarboxylase. Of mono-, di-, and trihydroxybenzoic acids, gallic acid was the most inhibitory, giving 50% inhibition at a concentration of 0.17 mM. Dihydroxybenzoic acids were less
Since oxidative stress and inflammation are involved in seizure-related neurotoxicity, the neuroprotective effect of a white rose (Rosa hybrida) petal extract (WRPE) in mice that are challenged with kainic acid (KA) were examined using behavioral epileptiform seizures as well as biochemical and
Acclimatization is a major pathophysiological concern during ascent to high altitude and may cause mortality in unacclimatized individuals. Absence of target drugs, especially prophylactics, emphasizes the need for development of herbal agents. Present study revealed that animals pre-administered
