title: Anticonvulsant action of thiabendazole.
abstract: Thiabendazole was found to be specifically effective against maximal electroshock seizures in albino rats. It produced a significant dose-dependent decrease in the duration of the tonic extensor phase of hind legs. The ED50 was similar for oral or s.c. administration. PTZ-induced convulsions were unaffected by lower doses but aggravated by the higher dose studied.
