Journal Title: The Journal of Phytopharmacology - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
The present study was undertaken to evaluate Tagara and Jatamansi for certain CNS activities to ascertain the basis for their use as a sedative and hypnotics. The drugs were evaluated for hypnotic and sedative, anti anxiety, anti depressant and anti psychotic activities using standard experimental protocol. The data generated suggests that the test drugs Tagara and Jatamansi have complex CNS activity profile which is not easy to categorize under general CNS activity profile. Both possess significant anti-anxiety activity without significant sedative-hypnotic activity. This increases their utility for the patients suffering from anxiety due to sleep disturbances.
