摘要
Medicinal plants and their bioactive constituents: A scientific review of bioactivity and potential benefits in the anxiety disorders in animal models. A search for novel pharmacotherapy from medicinal plants for psychiatric illnesses has progressed significantly in-the past decade. This is reflected in the large number of herbal preparations for which psychotherapeutic potential has been evaluated in a variety I of animal models. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of medicinal plants that have significant therapeutic effects in animal models of psychiatric illnesses, specifically anxiety disorders. A considerable number of herbal constituents whose behavioral effects and pharmacological actions have been well characterized may be good candidates for future investigations that may result in clinical use, thus deserving increased attention in future studies.
