✦ Synopsis

The methanol extract of the leaves of Moringu oleifera Lam. was investigated for some psychopharmacological actions in animals. The extract was found to produce a significant alteration in general behavioural pattern by head dip test, Y-maze test, evasion test, and reduction in muscle relaxant activity by rotarod test, chimney test and traction test. Beside these, the extract also potentiated pentobarbitone induced sleeping time and lowered body temperature in experimental animals.
