Moringa oleifera which is commonly kn own as drumstick tree has been used for its nutrition value and extensively used as a CNS depressant traditionally. Present work has been carried out to evaluate the anticonvulsant activity of methanolic extract of M. oleifera leaves against pentylenetetra zole (PTZ) and maximal electroshock (MES) induce d convulsions at different dose level (200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg i.p.). Diazepam and phenytoin (5mg/kg i.p. and 25mg/kg i.p., respectively) were used as a…

ANTICONVULSANT ACTIVITY OF MORINGA OLEIFERA IN SWISS ALBINO MICE
TLDR
The data suggests that the ethanolic extracts Moringa oleifera leaves may produce its anticonvulsant effect via different mechanisms since it prevented the hind limb extension induced by MES, decreased the duration of convulsions produced by PTZ and abolished status epilepticus in pilocarpine induced seizures.
Evaluation of anti-epileptic activity of fresh fruit juice of Moringa oleifera against maximal electroshock (M.E.S) and Picrotoxin (PTX) induced convulsions in mice
TLDR
Fresh fruit juice of Moringa oleifera at the dose of 50ml/kg p.o shows anticonvulsant activity against Maximal electroshock and Picrotoxin induced convulsion in mice.

Analgesic effect of ethanolic leaf extract of moringa oleifera on albino mice
TLDR
The ethanolic leaf extract of Moringa oleifera exhibited analgesic activity in both models showing its both central and peripheral analgesic actions.
Phytochemical and neurotoxicity evaluation of methanolic leaf-extract of Moringa oleifera
TLDR
Phytochemical screening and quantitative analysis showed that the methanol leaf-extract of M. oleifera has no neurotoxic effect even at high doses; and so, it very safe for use in the treatment regimes.
Evaluation of liver protective activity of Moringa oleifera bark extract in paracetamol induced hepatotoxicity in rats
TLDR
The biochemical parameters provide evidence that the ethanolic extract of of Moringa oleifera bark has shown hepatoprotective activity.

TLDR
The results showed that, when the animals were pretreated via IP route, the extract of the flowers could attenuate PTZ-induced seizures in rats, evidenced by the significantly longer latencies of the appearance of writhing reflex.

TLDR
The results suggest that the specificity of experimental models of epilepsy used in the evaluation of potential antiepileptic drugs is primarily due to the intensity rather than the nature of the stimulus used or the kind of seizure component evoked.

TLDR
The relationship between the chemical structure and the proconvulsant activity of 6-desfluoroquinolone derivatives was studied and it was observed that, in terms of toxicity to the central nervous system (CNS), the C-6 substituent also appears to play an important role.
Possible mechanism of anticonvulsant effect of ketamine in mice.
TLDR
The results suggest that besides its known antagonistic effect on NMDA channel, other neurotransmitter systems i.e. sigma, GABAA-BZD-chloride channel complex and GABAB receptors may also be involved in the anti-MES action of ketamine.
