ABSTRACT

Experiments on outbred albino mice showed a significant anxiolytic effect of aqueous tincture of the aerial part of Myosotis arvensis (L.) (Boraginaceae) in a single daily dose of 0.5 ml/kg. In a dose of 2 ml/kg, the tincture of M. arvensis aerial part exhibited an anxiolytic and antidepressant effect. In contrast to phenazepam, aqueous tincture of M. arvensis did not inhibit exploratory and motor activities.
