摘要
The crude methanolic extract of Ipomoea hederacea seeds also known as ivy-leaved morning glory was evaluated in terms of anticonvulsant and sex enhancing effects on albino rats. Male albino rats were divided into five groups and were orally administered Ipomoea hederacea seeds extract of 25, 50 and 75 mg/kg body weight for the three groups, the remaining two groups were used as control and reference. The Ipomoea hederacea seeds extract showed anticonvulsant effects at higher concentrations (i.e. 50 and 75 mg/kgbw). Furthermore, the evaluation of sex enhancing effects showed increased level in mount frequencies, which represents an increased libido.
Our investigations have been proved to be promising in terms of future potential applications of extract as anticonvulsant and sex enhancer probably due to the presence of lysergic acid derivatives and clavine alkaloids which could be used in a range of phytochemicals composition and/or different pharmaceutical use.
