Anxiolytic Effect of Mitragyna Inermis Leaves Extract in Mice Using Open Field Test
Mitragyna inermis is used in traditional medicine; this study evaluates the anxiolytic effect of its leaf extract in mice with the open field test, a standard behavioural assay of exploratory and anxiety-related activity.
The paper adds experimental pharmacology evidence for a plant that is already part of local materia medica, and sits alongside the group’s wider work on neuropharmacology and medicinal plants.
