Effect of Allium stracheyi on behavior of zebrafish: a pharmacological approach
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
Anxiety disorders are prevalent condition that affect emotion and cognitive behaviour and are associated with substantial impairments in both productive and social roles. Pharmacological intervention is the main therapeutic approach. Benzodiazepines are among most frequently prescribed anxiolytics. Several clinical problems are associated with the existing anxiolytics being prescribed and therefore herbal medicines are being considered as an alternative to the complementary medicine. In the present study methanolic extract of Allium stracheyi (Baker) was studied for its anxiolytic property in widely accepted zebrafish behavioural models of anxiety. The observations indicate that Allium stracheyi imparts mild anxiolytic activity. Keywords: Anxiety, behaviour, Allium stracheyi, diazepam, zebrafish
