analysis. Initial anticonvulsantscreening was performed using intraperitoneal (i.p.) maximal electroshock-induced seizure (MES), subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ), subcutaneous strychnine (scSTY), and subcutaneous picrotoxin (scPIC)-induced seizure threshold tests. A model involving 22-day old rat pups was also employed to further screen the effects of the test compounds against hyperthermia-induced
