- Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the antidepressant activity of hydroalcoholic extract of Morus alba leaves in mice after acute 7 days and 14 days of treatments by using two models of depression tail-suspension test (TST) and forced swim test (FST). Duration: Three months (September 2018-December 2018).Design: Observational study by using digital camera. Findings: The findings showed that the hydroalcoholic extract of Morus alba leaves at the doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg significantly (P> 0.05 ) reduced the immobility times in both the tests(TS & FS) as compared to control in both acute and after 14 days of treatments . The phytochemical analysis of hydroalcoholic extract of Morus alba leaves revealed the presence of alkaloids,phenols,flavonoids,Tannins,Saponins,Steroids Glycosides and Coumarins.Conclusion: It can be concluded that Morus alba hydroalcoholic leaves extract have antidepressant effect in both acute and after 14 days of treatment and there were dose dependent in increasing these effects.
