An In Vivo and In Silico Approach Reveals Possible Sodium Channel Nav1.2 Inhibitors from Ficus religiosa as a Novel Treatment for Epilepsy.

Summary

Scientists used in vivo and in silico approaches to identify potential Nav1.2 blockers for epilepsy management. Plant extracts showed promise in mice, with two compounds showing stable binding to Nav1.2. This research could lead to new, effective, and natural antiepileptic drugs with fewer side effects.
