Some activities of seven vegetable extracts and an association of them given by oral route were tested on the C.N.S. of the mouse. Among these, Crataegus oxyacantha and, less clearly, Valeriana officinalis show some sedative activity, whereas the extract from Passiflora incarnata gives some anxiolytic effect. Matricaria chamomilla and Piscidia erythrina stand in an intermediate position between the previous ones. Hyoscyamus niger proved to be active in only one of the tests performed, whereas Atropa belladonna did not show any activity on the C.N.S. The association of the seven extracts seemed to act in a synergetic way, the resulting activity being sedative at high dosage and anxiolytic at low dosage.
对七种植物提取物及其口服联合制剂在小鼠中枢神经系统上的一些活性进行了测试。其中，山楂和缬草（不太明显）显示出一定的镇静活性，而西番莲提取物有一定的抗焦虑作用。洋甘菊和 Erythrina piscidia 处于前两者之间的中间位置。黑莨菪仅在一项测试中显示有活性，而颠茄对中枢神经系统未表现出任何活性。七种提取物的联合制剂似乎以协同方式起作用，高剂量时产生镇静活性，低剂量时产生抗焦虑活性。
