| Abstract | Stachys tibetica Vatke (Lamiaceae) is an important medicinal plant in the folk medicine of Ladakh, India and Tibet for the treatment of various mental disorders. Infusion and decoction of the whole plant is used as a cup of tea in severe fever, headache and to relieve tension. Present study is aimed to evaluate the anxiolytic effect of successive extracts of Stachys tibetica Vatke (SES). Stachys tibetica Vatke (1 kg) was subjected to successive extraction in a soxhlet apparatus with different solvents of increasing polarity like petroleum ether (40–60 °C), chloroform, ethyl acetate, methanol and finally decocted with water (yield 7.08 %, 3.98 %, 2.02 %, 16.40 % and 21.53 % w/w respectively). All successive extracts were subjected to phytochemical screening. Rutin was identified by TLC method in the extracts. SES were evaluated for anxiolytic activity using elevated plus maze and light/dark arena tests in rats. Phytochemical studies showed the presence of flavonoids, terpenoids, saponins, glycosides, tannins, alkaloids etc. which might be responsible for anxiolytic activity. TLC analysis of the extracts also showed the presence of flavonoids (rutin). SES increased number of entries and time spent in open arms on the elevated plus maze test while as in the light/dark arena test; they showed an increase in number of crossings and time spent in light arena. The results of both the models of anti-anxiety studies were reflected on the 1st, 3rd and 7th day. Methanol and aqueous showed the most, chloroform and petroleum ether (40–60 °C) intermediate and ethyl acetate the least anxiolytic activity (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001) in both the models. The results strongly justify the use of this plant for treatment of anxiety. Further studies are in progress in our laboratory to isolate and identify the components responsible for anxiolytic activity and the mechanism of action involved. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
