In order to prove the anticonvulsive effect of the fragrance of Magnoliae Flos in convulsion-induced mice, experiments were performed on anticonvulsive effect, GABA level, glutamic acid level, GABA-T activity and GAD activity. The results were obtained as follows: 1. As far as anticonvulsive effect was concerned, on the convulsion induced by such as maximal electric seizure, strychnine, bicuculline, or picrotoxin it was not significant, but the convulsion induced by pentylenetetrazole it was significant comparing to the control group. 2. GABA level was increased significantly in mice. 3. Glutamic acid level was decreased significantly in mice. 4. GABA-T activity was decreased by the fragrance of Magnoliae Flos. 5. The fragrance of Magnoliae Flos was not effective in GAD activity. From above result, the fragrance of Magnoliae Flos had significant effects on convulsion induced by pentylenetetrazole, so it is expected to clinical application on convulsive diseases such as epilepsy.
