Hypothesis
Elenine has central sedative effects at lower doses than elenoside and may be applied in anxiety conditions.
Conclusion
Elenine exhibits central sedative effects and potential applications for anxiety treatment.
Supporting Evidence
- Elenine reduced spontaneous activity in mice.
- Elenine showed a decrease in muscle tone and locomotor activity.
