Atorvastatin, aninhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA re-ductaseuse to cholesterol level in blood. In-addition it has been found that atorvastatin also inhibits N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) mediated excitotoxicity in vitro neuron culture. The pileotropic neuroprotective action of statins exert their effects by inhibiting synthesis of isoprenoids which further interfering with isoprenylation and membrane attachment of small guanosine triphosphate (GTPases). Although it has well known that atorvastatin can significantly decline the threshold of seizures when administered against pentylenetetrazol30–32 but another study also revealed that atorvastatin majorly inhibits hippocampal cell death induced by kainic acid (an agonist for a subtype of inotropic glutamate receptor, AMPA and kainic acid receptor) in CA1 and CA3 regions and produce neuroprotection, anti-excitotoxicity and antiepileptic action.33
