In this study, the antiepileptic study of methanolic and aqeous extract of Annona reticulata at doses of 100mg/kg, 200mg/kg and 400mg/kg using the PTZ and MES models were investigated in Swiss Albino Rats. The %protection of the rats was found to increase with an increase in the dose. It was found that at the dose of 400mg/kg, both the extract of the leaves showed very good activity and most animals showed no signs of convulsions.
