Abstract
Xanthium strumarium L. Family Asteraceae, a common weed in North America, Brazil, China, Malaysia, and the drier regions of India, is a medicinal plant. The herb has historically been used to treat a variety of illnesses. Traditional medicine has used extracts of the entire plant, particularly the leaves, roots, fruits, and seeds, to treat conditions like leucoderma, epilepsy, salivation, chronic malaria, rheumatism, tuberculosis, allergic rhinitis, sinitis, urticaria, rheumatoid arthritis, constipation, diarrhoea, leprosy, lumbago, pruritis, bacterial infections, and fungal infections. In this present study, we investigated neurobehavioral activity of ethanol extract of Xanthium strumarium L in mice as a part of a psychopharmacological screening of this plant. The effects of the plant extract on CNS were studied by using Elevated plus maze test, Hole board test, Hole cross test, open field test. The overall results suggest that the ethanol extract of Xanthium strumarium have significant effect on CNS. However, future efforts should concentrate more on in vitro and in vivo studies in order to confirm traditional insight in the light of a rational phytotherapy.
