Anxiolytic effects of Echium amoenum on the elevated plus-maze model of anxiety in mice

Synthesis and biological evaluation of 2-amino-5-sulfanyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives as antidepressant, anxiolytics and anticonvulsant agents

“…Antidepressant activity was determined by the tail suspension test in Steru et al (1985) and despair swim test in mice (Porsolt et al, 1977), anxiolytic activity was determined by elevated plus maze test (Moser, 1989;Rabbani et al, 2004) and light and dark box model (Crawley and Goodwin, 1980) by using balb/cj mice and Swiss albino mice respectively. Balb/cj mice and Swiss albino mice (20-25 g of body mass) of both sexes were divided into different groups (control, test and standard) containing six animals each.…”

“…Plus maze for mice (Moser, 1989;Rabbani et al, 2004) consisted of two open (16 9 5 cm 2 ) and two closed arms ( …”

Evaluation de l’effet d’un extrait aqueux de Bridelia ferruginea Benth. (Euphorbiaceae) sur les activités spontanée et locomotrice chez le rat

“…Ce résultat est similaire à ceux obtenus avec les espèces de Nepeta (Aydin et al, 1998;Rabbani et al, 2008), Salvia reuterana (Rabbani et al, 2005), Stachys lavandulifolia (Rabbani et al, 2003), Echium amoenum (Rabbani et al, 2004) et Valeriana offininalis (Santos et al, 1994).…”
