Objectives: The objectives of the present investigation were to evaluate the memory impairment (MI) activity of eslicarbazepine (ESL) in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) at a normal and reduced dose, to evaluate the possible protective effect of nefiracetam (NEF) on MI induced by ESL at a normal and reduced dose, and to evaluate the antiepileptic activity of ESL on TLE in the presence and absence of NEF. Methods: MI activity was evaluated by Barnes maze (BM) on lithium-pilocarpine-induced TLE in Wistar albino rats. Rats were trained by releasing from the portable start-up box after keeping sometimes inside, to find the fixed dark escape hole of BM. Mild aversive light overhead was used to motivate the finding. Animals failed to do so were guided manually. Trained animals were taken for the study and checked the escape latency time (ELT) and the error scores (error entry). The treatment was given for 1 month and MI activity was measured on every 7th day and antiepileptic activity on every 8th day. Phenytoin was used as standard antiepileptic drug (AED) to compare the MI extent of ESL. Conclusion: The reduced dose of ESL and NEF combination was found to have synergized the protecting effect against MI compared to normal ESL and NEF group without altering anticonvulsant activity. However, further studies are required to elicit detailed protective activity of NEF on MI induced by ESL.
