Abstract

A new tryptamine analogue, N-salicyloyltryptamine (STP), a potential central nervous system (CNS) depressant, was tested in the pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) and maximal electroshock (MES) models of epilepsy in mice. When administered concurrently, STP (100 mg/kg ip) significantly reduced the number of animals that exhibited PTZ-induced seizures and eliminated the extensor reflex of maximal electric-induced seizures test in 50% of the experimental animals. In addition, it showed protection in the PTZ test by diminishing the death rate.
