Unlabelled: HISTORY AND OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to study the anxiolytic effects of Ocimum sanctum stress-induced anxiety.
Materials And Methods: The study was carried out using male albino rats (200 ± 50 gm), male albino mice (25 ± 100) the effect of O. sanctum evaluated for anxiety and depression using forced swim test FST and rotarod test.
Results: Restraint stress (3 hours/day for six consecutive days) induced a significant reduction. It was significantly decreases the mobility period during stress. The standard deviation values are 14.4 and 9.26 and is statistically significant (p = 0.001). In rotarod test, (a) increased latency and (b) decreased ambulation and rearing were also reversed by O. sanctum. A significant increase in immobility period was observed in FST and TST after restraint stress. O. sanctum and C. sinensis significantly reduced the immobility times of rats in FST and TST.
Conclusion: Ocimum sanctum possess significant antistress activity but the magnitude and efficacy for relieving stress is less, when compare to standard anxiolytic agent, i.e. Alprazolam.

Transgenic Ocimum sanctum plants were engineered to produce vanillin by overexpressing the VpVAN gene using Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Positive transformants developed shoots within 4-5 weeks and were transferred to a root induction medium and four independent transformants with no observed adverse effects were kept for anlysis. Quantitative RT-PCR indicated significantly higher VpVAN expression in transgenic lines AG_3 and AG_1, impacting the phenylpropanoid pathway and phenolic compound accumulation.
