Evaluation of neuropharmacological and analgesic activities of methanolic extract of Diospyros blancoi A. DC leaves in Swiss albino mice

Abstract

This research work was carried out to evaluate the neuropharmacological and analgesic activities of methanolic extract of Diospyros blancoi leaves by experimenting Swiss albino mice. The neuropharmacological activities of methanol extract were conducted using hole cross, force swimming and tail suspension tests. On the other hand, analgesic activities of the extract were performed using acetic acid induced writhing and hot plate tests. The mice were treated orally at dose of 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg of leaves extract for neuropharmacological and analgesic tests. The methanolic leaves extract of Diospyros blancoi significantly (p
