     Abstract Introduction and objective: Due to the crucial role of oxidative stress and GAB Aergic system on the pathophysiology of epilepsy and the beneficial effects of the extract to improve seizure and memory impairment, we aimed to determine both in vitro and in vivo effect of C.ternatea on oxidative stress status and GABAergic function in cerebral cortex and hippocampus of epileptic. Materials and methods: The extract of C. ternatea flowers was prepared via decoction method. The yielded extract was lyophilized as powder. The final extract contained totalphenolic compound at concentration of 71.916 + 1.816 mg/LGAE/mg extract. Then, it was determined antioxidant using DPPH and FRAP assays. To investigate the in vivo effect of this plant extract, male ICR mice were grouped into various groups as following; 1) control 2) vehicle 3) C. ternatea extract 200 mg/kg 4) C. ternatea extract 400 mg/kg 5) C. ternatea extract 800 mg/ kgBW. The animals were orally given the assigned substances for 14 days. Then, they were injected PTZ at dose of 75 mg/kgBW via intraperitoneal route. 24 hours later, all animals were sacrificed, cerebral cortex and hippocampus were collected to determine lipid peroxidation product (MDA) level and GABA-T activity. Results: The antioxidant activities of C. ternatea flowers extract via DPPH and FRAP assays were 174.83 ± 1.790 μg/ml and 311.333 + 16.971 μM L-ascorbic acid equivalence/mg extract, respectively while the IC50 of GABA-T inhibition was 229.692 ± 2.457 μg/ml. In addition, it was found that all dose of C. ternatea flowers extract showed the significant decreased MDA level in hippocampus while C. ternatea flowers extract at doses of 400 and 800 mg/ kgBW showed the significant decreased of MDA level only in cerebral cortex. In addition, the suppression effect of the extract on GABA-T in cerebral cortex was also observed in cerebral cortex of epileptic mice while the suppression effect on GABA-T in hippocampus was observed only in epileptic mice subjected to 200 mg/kgBW. Conclusion: Both in vitro and in vivo data showed the antioxidant and GABAI effects of C. ternatea flowers. These data suggest that the extract might protect against brain damage and over excitation in epilepsy. Thus, it is worth for development as health product to protect against epilepsy However, the toxicity, behavior together with biochemical and electrophysiology studies are required before moving to clinical trial.
