Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating epilepsy or seizure-related diseases. More specifically, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition, a food composition, and health-functional food for preventing, alleviating, or treating epilepsy or seizure-related diseases comprising D-limonene as an active ingredient. D-limonene of the present invention can effectively alleviate convulsions when administered to an animal model with pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced temporary convulsions or chronic convulsions. Accordingly, a composition of the present invention including D-limonene as an active ingredient can be usefully used for preventing or treating epilepsy or seizure-related diseases. Specifically, D-limonene is a natural material derived from peels of citrus fruits (Citrus unshiu Marcov), thereby being safe for the human body. 본 발명은 뇌전증 또는 발작 관련 질환의 예방 또는 치료용 약제학적 조성물에 관한 것으로, 더욱 자세하게는 D-리모넨을 유효성분으로 포함하는 뇌전증 또는 발작 관련 질환의 예방, 개선 또는 치료용 약제학적 조성물; 식품 조성물 및 건강기능식품에 관한 것이다. 본 발명의 D-리모넨은 PTZ(pentylenetetrazole)에 의해 유발되는 단발성 경련이나 만성 경련 동물모델에 투여하는 경우 경련을 효과적으로 완화시킬 수 있는바, 이를 유효성분으로 포함하는 본 발명의 조성물은 뇌전증 또는 발작 관련된 질환의 예방 또는 치료에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 특히, D-리모넨은 감귤류(Citrus unshiu Marcov) 과피에서 유래되는 천연 소재에 해당하는바, 인체에 안전한 이점을 갖는다.
