“…Samples of plants were thereafter collected and processed for the Department of Pharmacognosy Herbarium, University of Ibadan (DPHUI). Furthermore, the use-mentions index was calculated for all plants [17]. The use-mentions index (UMi) was taken as the number of use mentioned for a particular plant divided by the total number of respondents interviewed.…”

Ipomoea reniformis Chaos is claimed in Indian traditional medical practice to be useful in the treatment of epilepsy and neurological disorders. In the present study, pretreatment effect of methanolic extract of Ipomoea reniformis on epilepsy and psychosis was evaluated in rodents using standard procedures. Besides evaluating epileptic and behavioral parameters, neurotransmitters such as Gamma-Amino Butyric Acid (GABA) in epilepsy and in psychosis dopamine, noradrenaline and serotonin contents in the rodent brain were estimated. The extract pretreatment reduced maximal electro shock; Isoniazid (INH) and Pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) induced seizures and also significantly inhibited the attenuation of brain GABA levels by INH and PTZ in mice. These results suggested that the observed beneficial effect in epilepsy may be by enhancing the GABAergic system. The test drug also inhibited the apomorphine induced climbing and stereotyped behavior and showed significantly reduced levels of brain dopamine, noradrenaline and serotonin which may be due to blocking of central dopaminergic, noradrenergic and serotonergic pathways or by enhancing the GABAergic system. The results obtained in present study suggest that the title plant possesses antiepileptic and antipsychotic activities in rodents.

“…Plantago australis Lam. exposure time and concentration 8 may have been one of the reasons which the phytoterapic did not show better results with respect to the count of biofilms of Candida while this happened in previous studies 8,9 . However, these results should be interpreted with caution, considering the nature of this study (in vitro) and short period of investigation.…”

“…In this context, the phytotherapic Plantago australis Lam. 7 has not yet been studied for the prevention of denture stomatitis or for cleaning dentures, but has been recommended 8,9 for the treatment of upper respiratory tract infections and chronic bronchitis 8 . Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of chemical denture cleansers and Plantago australis Lam.…”

“…Because medicinal plants continue to be culturally suitable as treatments for several illnesses, it is important to record their uses and perform studies about their toxicity and pharmacological activities to ensure their efficacy and safety (Andrade-Cetto, 2009). Pharmacological studies involving medicinal plants have been the topic of several analyses in scientific meetings in Brazil.…”

Acute toxicity, antioxidant activity in vitro and general pharmacological effects of the fl ower crude ethanolic extract of Bellis perennis L., Asteraceae, a popular medicine used in South America, were investigated in mice. The oral route LD50 value was found 2.31 g/kg. Oral administration at doses 50, 100 and 150 mg/ kg of the extract neither caused significant changes in general behavior nor led to toxic symptoms. Anxiolytic-like properties were studied in the open fi eld test and the possible antidepressant-like actions were evaluated in the forced swimming test (FST). There is a signifi cant decrease in the number of crossings at all dosages mentioned above, but no sedative effects at any dosages when compared to controls. In the FST, the extract dosage of 150 mg/kg was effective in reducing immobility, along with a signifi cant increase in swimming time. The ethanolic extract showed strong antioxidant potential in vitro, through the removal capacity against hydroxyl radicals and nitric oxide as well as prevented the formation of reactive substances to thiobarbituric acid (TBARS). Together, these results indicate that the ethanolic extract has effect on central nervous system, which might due to its antioxidant property, as demonstrated in vitro methods used. These results suggest that some of the components in ethanolic extract of B. perennis, such as alkaloids, phenolic compounds and fl avonoids may have antioxidant, anxiolytic and antidepressant-like properties. Additional investigations are in progress.
