Aim: Hyoscyamus niger (Solanaceae) has been used for treatment of mental disorders, epileptic mania, chronic dementia with insomnia. However, it is not yet studied in condition like depression. The present study was planned with an objective to evaluate its antidepressant like property in animal models of depression and to find out the possible mechanism underlying this action in mouse model of...

The purpose of the present study was to determine the tropane alkaloid content of four Hyoscyamus species from Iran, i.e. H. pusillus L., H. niger L., H. reticulatus L. and H. kurdicus Bornm. Determination of alkaloids was performed by the HPLC method. Samples were extracted with chloroform-methanol-25% ammonium hydroxide 15:5:1 (V/V/V). HPLC separation was performed on Eurospher C18 reversed p...
