Article Abstract
, a member of Fabaceae family, has been a part of traditional medicine for various ailments such as Hypertension, Diabetes, and Cancer. This family of plants has been utilized for Anticonvulsant and Anxiolytic effects. The ongoing investigation is aimed to seek the antiepileptic potential of seed extracts in pentylenetetrazole-induced kindling mice. The seeds of were subjected to a sequential extraction process for the preparation of n-hexane, chloroform, methanol, and aqueous extracts. The PTZ-induced kindling model was employed to assess the antiepileptic activity of each extract. Seizure activity and antioxidant biomarkers in the brain tissue such as levels of CAT, SOD, tGSH, and MDA were assessed. Mechanism of action was elucidated by Flumazenil. Through GC-MS analysis, the phytochemical components in the chloroform extract of were evaluated. The outcomes showed that extracts markedly reduced the seizure activity in kindling mice. The extracts exhibited significant Antioxidant properties by enhancing the levels of antioxidant biomarkers in the brain tissue such as CAT, SOD, and tGSH, and decreasing the MDA level. The results demonstrated that extracts showed antiepileptic effects may be via GABA pathway. According to the results of this investigation, has significant antiepileptic potential in PTZ-induced kindling mice via GABA pathway modulation and combating reactive oxygen species.

Oral administration of drugs in laboratory rodents such as rats is conventionally performed using the gavage technique. Despite effectiveness, gavage can induce distress associated with restraint, especially following repeated animal handling. To mitigate these adverse effects and reduce morbidity associated with traditional methods, we explored oromucosal/buccal administration of cannabidiol (CBD)-enriched Cannabis extract.

Background: Epilepsy, a significant neurological condition marked by the occurrence of repeated seizures, continues to pose a substantial health challenge. Previous studies have indicated that Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitors may possess antiepileptic properties. Ferroptosis, a newly discovered type of programmed cell death, has recently surfaced as a promising therapeutic target in the management of epilepsy.

As an emerging therapeutic strategy, stem cell transplantation has demonstrated promising potential in the management of refractory epilepsy. Epilepsy, a prevalent neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, affects approximately one-third of patients worldwide who exhibit resistance to existing antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). Consequently, exploring novel treatment modalities is imperative.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability characterized by impaired social communication and repetitive behaviors, and environmental and genetic factors are involved in its onset. The use of the antiepileptic drug valproic acid (VPA) during pregnancy is associated with neural tube defects and developmental disorders in the fetus. In this study, we aimed to identify abnormalities in cortical morphogenesis owing to prenatal VPA exposure and to elucidate the abnormalities in brain function associated with these abnormalities, particularly by comparing multiple and single environments.

Developmental epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs), including Dravet syndrome (DS), require antiseizure medications (ASMs) that balance efficacy with developmental safety. There is an urgent clinical need for novel therapeutic agents that combine potent anticonvulsant activity with developmental safety. β-Asarone, an active constituent of plants, has demonstrated antiepileptic potential, but its toxicities severely limit clinical application.
