Abstract

Background: Since long lasting administration of anti-seizure drugs produces undesirable side effects, many efforts have been made during recent decades to find and replace the chemical drugs by medicinal plants.Objective: The aim of present study was to study the antiepileptic (anti-seizure) effects of hydroalcoholic extract of MELISSA OFFICINALIS on experimental epileptiform SEIZURES, induced by PENTYLENETETRAZOL (PTZ) in Wistar RAT.Methods: After normalization, RATs in experimental groups 1, 2 and 3 were injected (i.p) 50, 80 and 120 mg/kg hydroalcoholic extract of MELISSA OFFICINALIS, respectively. Control animals were injected extract solvent as the same manner. After 30 minutes all RATs were injected (i.p) 80 mg/kg PTZ and then examined for epileptiform behaviors for the next 60 minutes. The RATe of mortality during the next 24 hour was also recorded.Results: In comparison with control group, in all experimental groups the latent period of tonic-clonic generalized seizure was significantly (P<0.05) increased. Moreover, the mortality RATe was decreased from 90% in control group to 30, 50 and 60% in experimental groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively.Conclusions: It can be concluded that hydroalcoholic extract of MELISSA OFFICINALIS has potential sedative and anticonvulsant effects and probably exerts its effects through GABAergic system.
