Phytochemical Profiling and Pharmacological Evaluation of the Methanol Extract of Persicaria chinensis L.H. Gross Leaves for Thrombolytic, Antidepressant, and Anxiolytic Activities through the In Vitro and In Vivo Approach
This investigation confirms antihrombotic, anxiolytic, and antidepressant potential of persicaria chinensis extract, indicating its therapeutic promise.
Key Points
The methanol extract of persicaria chinensis shows mild thrombolytic effects, suggesting it may aid in managing thrombosis.
Significant reductions in immobility were observed in both forced swimming and tail suspension tests, indicating potential antidepressant activity.
Anxiolytic effects were demonstrated through increased head dipping in the hole-board test and open arm time in the elevated plus maze.
The study identified various bioactive metabolites in the extract, highlighting its pharmacological potential for anxiety and depression.
