Sleep disturbance causes many health problems in humans worldwide. This study evaluated the effects and possible mechanisms of sclareol (SCL) and/or linalool (LIN) through in vivo and in silico studies. For this, young chicks SCL (5, 10, and 20 mg/kg) and/or LIN (50 mg/kg) were orally administered thirty minutes before to the thiopental sodium (TS)-induced chicks with or without the standard drug diazepam (DZP: 3 mg/kg).

Chemically-induced seizures, as a result of exposure to a neurotoxic compound, present a serious health concern. Compounds can elicit seizure activity through disruption of neuronal signaling by neurotransmitters, either by mimicking, modulating or antagonizing their action at the receptor or interfering with their metabolism. Benzodiazepines, such as diazepam and midazolam, and barbiturates are the mainstay of treatment of seizures.

Background: Sclareol (SCL), a labdane diterpene compound found in Salvia sclarea L., exhibited therapeutic effects. This study investigated the potential interaction between SCL and diazepam (DZP) in modulating sedation in the thiopental sodium-induced sleeping animal model, supported by in-silico molecular docking analysis.

Quercetin is the most common polyphenolic flavonoid present in fruits and vegetables demonstrating versatile health-promoting effects. This study aimed to examine the effects of quercetin (QR) and sclareol (SCL) on the thiopental sodium (TS)-induced sleeping and forced swimming test (FST) mouse models. SCL (1, 5, and 10 mg/kg, p.

Clinical studies documented that cenobamate (CNB) has a marked efficacy compared to other antiseizure medications (ASMs) in reducing focal seizures. To date, different aspects of CNB need to be clarified, including its efficacy against generalized seizures. Similarly, the pattern of drug-drug interactions between CNB and other ASMs also compels further investigation.
