Extracts from var. have been found to possess anticonvulsant properties, but their effectiveness in status epilepticus models has not been well studied. Researchers administered ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of the plant to rats before inducing seizures with kainic acid. Both extracts decreased the severity of seizures and prevented increased lipid peroxidation in various brain areas, kidneys, and liver. The methanol extract also increased the latency to seizure. These effects are likely due to the antioxidant properties of the extracts and their chemical constituents. The vehicle, olive oil, also showed anticonvulsant and antioxidant effects.
