Abstract
Our Institution has been very keenly involved in the review, research and revitalization. The objective of the present work is to evaluate the anticonvulsant effect of aqueous extract of Cissus quadrangularis. Fifteen adult male albino rats, following overnight fasting were divided into five groups with three animals each. The animals received orally Group I Control – 1% gm acacia, Group II – standard – 50mg / kg of diphenyl hydantoin, Groups III, IV and V aqueous extract of Cissus quadrangularis at a graded dose of 100, 150 and 200 mg / kg respectively. The anticonvulsant effect was assessed by the ability of the extract to produce statistically significant reduction in duration of tonic extensor component and post ictal depression, in MES seizures comparable with that of diphenyl hydantoin. The results of the present study indicates that the aqueous extract of Cissus quadrangularis possesses significant anticonvulsant effect.
