ABSTRACT

The anticonvulsant activity of aqueous and methanolic extracts of bark and leaves of Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam. was evaluated in Swiss albino mice by using Maximal electroshock (MES) and Strychnine nitrate induced convulsions models at two dose levels of 100 mg/kg and 82.5 mg/kg body weight. The methanol extract of the bark and leaves of Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam. offered protection to mice against maximal electroshock induced seizure and also delayed the onset of Strychnine nitrate induced convulsions models as compared to aqueous extract. It could be concluded that the methanolic extracts of Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam. leaves, possesses potent anticonvulsant potential. The analysis revealed only minor differences in the anticonvulsant activity as compared with bark of Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam. The methanol extracts of leaves of Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam. were found to be more potent, while bark extracts were found to be less potent with regards to antiepileptic activity in comparison with the reference standard drug Diazepam (5mg/kg), p.o. The results are quite encouraging for further investigations regarding isolation and mechanism of action in future.

Keywords: Anticonvulsant activity, Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam., Maximal electroshock, Strychnine nitrate.
