Evaluation of anti-epileptic property of Marsilea quadrifolia Linn. in maximal electroshock and pentylenetetrazole-induced rat models of epilepsy.

This study explored the potential of using a plant extract from Marsilea quadrifolia Linn. to treat epilepsy in rats. Two different models of induced epilepsy were used to test the extract's effectiveness: maximal electroshock (MES) and pentylenetetrazole (PTZ). Results showed that the extract had significant anti-epileptic effects in both models. This suggests that MQ extract has potential as a new treatment for epilepsy.
