A Review Study on the Traditional Plants has Potential Antidepressant Property

Abstract

DiscussionThis review includes detailed description of antidepressant activity of 21 medicinal plants whose roots, leaves, fruits extracts were used to evaluate the activity from various research articles.The tests employed for antidepressant activity includes HBT, FST, TST, OFT, EPMT, and MACT using rotarod and THB. These tests are employed with slight modification from original method, keeping basic concept same. HBTExploratory behaviour of rodents such as mice is evaluated using hole board test. The floor of the apparatus has regularly arranged holes. The animal is placed in the arena. Both frequency and duration of spontaneous elicited hole-poking behavior are then measured during a short period of time. This test also provides a simple method for assessing anxious response of a rodent to an unfamiliar environment. The use of the hole-board in this perspective relies on the hypothesis that the behavior of animals exposed to a novel situation results from competition AbstractDepression refers to a state of low mood and aversion to activity characterized by depressed mood, loss of interest, reduced energy and concentration. The reasons for the disease include stimulation of MAO-A, inhibition of NA and 5-HT. Symptoms include the diminished interest of pleasure, feelings of worthlessness or inappropriate guilt, a decrease in appetite and libido, insomnia, and recurrent thoughts of death or suicide. There are plenty of synthetic drugs used to treat depression but not enough blissful for patients, moreover, these synthetic drugs have potential side effects. After decades of serious obsession with the modern medicinal system, people have started looking at the ancient healing systems like Ayurveda, Siddha, and Unani. Many scientists are researching plant material for treating this disorder and there are lots of publications on it. But this is not sufficient for treating depression; further outcome should come into light that's the purpose of our review.

Phytochemistry and pharmacological activity of the genus artemisia

“…Further investigations are required to determine its appropriate mechanism (Mahmoudi et al 2009 ). A. absinthium has been proved to accomplish antidepressant action in a mouse model of tail suspension forced swimming tests (Rahman et al 2017 ). Chlorogenic acid separated and taken away through A. capillarie s has demonstrated to acquaint appreciable antidepressant activity (Park et al 2010 ; Khan et al 2016 ).…”

Phytochemistry and Ethnopharmacology of Vebris nobilis Delile (Rutaceae)

“…In both studies, Germacrene-D [14] and Ocimene [17] were the major sesquiterpene and monoterpene hydrocarbon (Table 1). A study by Al-Rehaily et al, [19] also isolated sesquiterpenes, teclenone A [30] and teclenone B [31] from the aerial parts while a study by Al-Rehaily et al, [5] isolated lupeol from the leaves of V. nobilis. β-sitosterol was one of the setroids isolated from the aerial parts of V. nobilis [15,19].…”
