This study assessed the anxiolytic effects of an ethanolic extract of Allium porrum leaves (APLE) in mice. Using two standard anxiety tests, the elevated plus-maze (EPM) and the light-dark box, researchers administered APLE at doses of 200mg/Kg and 400mg/Kg. Mice given APLE displayed increased time spent and entries in the open arms of the EPM and spent more time in the illuminated side of the light-dark box, indicating reduced anxiety behaviors. These findings suggest that APLE may have significant anti-anxiety properties. The extract’s potential efficacy is attributed to its flavonoid, alkaloid, and mineral content. Overall, the study concluded that APLE could be a natural and effective anxiolytic agent based on its positive results in animal models.
