Anticonvulsive Effect of Glucosyl Xanthone Mangiferin on Pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-Induced Seizure-Provoked Mice

Anxiety and depression are major side effects induced by currently available antiepileptic drugs; apart from this, they also diminish intelligence and language skills which cause hepatic failure, anemia, etc. Hence, in this study, we assessed antiepileptic effect of a phytochemical mangiferin.

Description
Summary:Anxiety and depression are major side effects induced by currently available antiepileptic drugs; apart from this, they also diminish intelligence and language skills which cause hepatic failure, anemia, etc. Hence, in this study, we assessed antiepileptic effect of a phytochemical mangiferin. Epilepsy, a prevalent non communicable neurological disorder, affects infants and older population throughout the world. Epilepsy-induced comorbidities are more severe and if not treated cautiously lead to disability and even worse cases, mortality. The onset and duration of convulsion were observed. Seizure severity score was assessed by provoking kindling with 35 mg/kg PTZ. Prooxidants and antioxidants were measured to assess the antioxidant effect of mangiferin. Inflammatory markers were measured to determine the anti-inflammatory effect of mangiferin. The levels of neurotransmitters and ATPases were quantified to evaluate the neuroprotective effect of mangiferin. Mangiferin significantly decreased the onset and duration convulsion. It also decreased the seizure severity score, locomotor activity, and immobilization effectively. The excitatory neurotransmitter was reduced, and inhibitory neurotransmitter was increased in mice treated with mangiferin. Overall, our results confirm that mangiferin efficiently protects mice from PTZ-induced seizures. It can be subjected to further research to be prescribed as a potent antiepileptic drug.
