Abstract

After going through numerous pharmaceutical databases for reviewing the present status regarding the exploration of anti-anxiety potentials of root hydroalcoholic extract of Lagerstroemia speciosa (Family: Lythraceae), no such reports have been found so far. Therefore, the necessity of anti-anxiety exploration was taken into account for investigating the above through the EPM model. The L. speciosa root hydroalcoholic extract demonstrated an excellent reduction of anxiety in the experimental animals. This exploration will definitely motivate the enthusiastic young researchers across the globe in exploring more therapeutically privileged plant extracts or phytoconstituents that will have tremendous anti-anxiety effects along with a higher margin of safety and least side-effects. The study also opened new avenues for formulation development or product development in the near future.
