ABSTRACT
The total glycoside extracted from the root of cynanchum oiophy-llum schneid ( COS ) has anticonvulsant activity. Its effect on synap-tosomal amino acid contents and brain enzyme activities in mice were studied in this paper. After the ip administration of COS, the content of GABA was increased, and that of Glu and Asp decreased, in synaptosomes of both normal and TSC induced convulsant mice, while the content of Gin remained unchanged. A fall in the activities of GDH, glutaminase and asparaginase in whole brain was seen. No changes were observed in the activities of GPT, GOT and glutamine synthetase.
