KIND OF ACTIVITY ANTIABSENCE IN MICE PRODUCED BY THE METHANOLIC EXTRACT FROM <I>Cecropia Membranacea Trécul</I>

The methanolic extract obtained from Cecropia membranacea Trécul (0,5 g/kg v.o.) administered to mice albinos ICR, elicits antiseizure activity (73% of protection) in mice exposed to pentilentetrazol (PTZ, 80 mg/kg, sc.), chemical model of absence crisis. Additionally, the extract conferred signific...
