บทคัดย่อ: The behavioural effects of an extract of Cassia siamea, a plant used in Thai traditional medicine, and barakol, its active chemical, were studied on an elevated plus-maze compared with diazepam. An aqueous extract of C. siamea (1, 6, and 12 g/kg body wt., orally) produced a small increase in the percentage of the open : total number of arm entries and time, time spent on the end of the open arms, total number of arm entries, and number of rears/min. Barakol [10 mg/kg, intraperitoneally (IP)] significantly increased all of these behavioural parameters in a manner similar to diazepam (1 mg/kg, IF, 30 or 60 min before testing), except that barakol and not diazepam increased both the number of rears and total arm entries. Barakol at 25 and 50 mg/kg increased the percentage of the open : total number of arm entries and time and number of rears. The results indicate that barakol has anxiolytic properties similar to diazepam but differs from diazepam in that it also increases exploratory and locomotor behaviour, as shown by the number of rears and total arm entries.
