Neurobehavioral evaluation and phytochemical characterization of a series of argentine valerian species

Abstract: Folkloric or galenic preparations of valerian roots and rhizomes have been used as sedatives/anxiolytics and sleep inducers since ancient times. “Valerianas” are plants that naturally grow in our region. Although some of them are used in folk medicine, they lack scientific information. We performed a comparative study of the phytochemical composition and the potential in vivo effects of ethanolic extracts of argentine valerian species: Valeriana carnosa Sm … Show more

“…The collection of plant material was in accordance with national Argentine guidelines. All plants were authenticated by Dr. Hernán Bach and voucher specimens were deposited in the herbarium of the Institute of Biological Resources -INTA and in the “Juan Anibal Domínguez” herbarium, Museum of Pharmacobotany, as previously reported [ 10 ] ( Table S1 ). Fresh roots and rhizomes were washed, dried at room temperature, and protected from light.…”

“…The results obtained for aqueous 1 extracts of Valeriana effusa , V. ferax , V. macrorhiza , V. clarionifolia , V. carnosa and V. officinalis on the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2߰-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline)-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS), iron chelation, and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) reactive substances (TBARS) assays are shown in Table 1 . In addition, the total content of polyphenols (obtained from [ 10 ]) is also reported for comparison and discussion. All species showed good antioxidant capacity against DPPH (EC 50 of 0.12 ± 0.02 mg/mL for V. carnosa to 0.57 ± 0.02 mg/mL for V. ferax ) and ABTS radicals (EC 50 of 0.04 ± 0.01 mg/mL for V. carnosa to 0.51 ± 0.06 mg/mL for V. officinalis ).…”

“…The term “hole board” was first used by the authors in 1964 to describe their test (Boissier, Simon, & Lwoff, 1964). Although the original hole‐board was a square arena with 16 holes on its floor, soon after a simpler apparatus featuring 4 holes has been developed by British neuropharmacologists Sandra File and Ann Wardill (File & Wardill, 1975), which has continued to be used over the following decades up to the present years (Bialuk & Winnicka, 2018; Carney et al., 2002; Casarrubea, Sorbera, Santangelo, & Crescimanno, 2010; Clarke & File, 1983; Di Filippo et al., 2016; Durcan & Lister, 1989; File, 1976, 1977; Gaffori, Le Moal, & Stinus, 1980; Gagliano, Fuentes, Nadal, & Armario, 2008; Galey & Jaffard, 1992; Hasegawa et al., 1996; Herde & Eccard, 2013; Kamei, Matsunawa, Miyata, Tanaka, & Saitoh, 2004; Kliethermes & Crabbe, 2006; Lister, 1987; Marcucci et al., 2020; Rodgers & File, 1979; Rubin et al., 2000; Shao et al., 2016; Wang et al., 2020). In addition, some hole‐boards with more than 16 holes have been realized, although they were less successful.…”
