Dose-Dependent Behavioral and Antioxidant Effects of Quercetin and Methanolic and Acetonic Extracts from Heterotheca inuloides on Several Rat Tissues following Kainic Acid-Induced Status Epilepticus.

In this study, researchers investigated the effects of natural products from a medicinal plant called on brain damage induced by kainic acid. They administered methanolic and acetonic extracts and quercetin at different doses to male Wistar rats and found that the natural products protected against the hyperexcitability underlying the damage caused by kainic acid-induced seizures. The group treated with natural products had decreased seizure severity and increased seizure latency compared to the control group. They also found that the natural products had antioxidant effects that protected against reactive oxygen species (ROS) and modulation of antioxidant enzyme activity. These findings suggest that organic extracts and quercetin from may have potential as anticonvulsant agents.
