An aqueous extract of the seed of Acacia nilotica was investigated for its pharmacological profile. On the isolated guinea-pig ileum, the extract displayed sustained dose-related contractile activity. The contractions which were reduced by hexamethonium, promethazine or atropine were completely abol

β¦ Synopsis
Federico I1 via Domenico Montesano 49 (80131) Naples, Italy A purified aqueous extract of Valerianu adscendens Trel. (Valerianaceae) was investigated for its pharmacological
profile. The extract did not exert significant changes on the nociceptive threshold in the hot plate and tail flick test and no effect was registered on the guinea-pig ileum. On the other hand, the extract significantly reduced both the locomotor activity and motor coordination of mice; it also prolonged sleep induced by pentobarbital, whereas no significant cataleptic response was observed. These effects may suggest neuroleptic-like properties.
