It was shown that the psychotropic agents diazepam (1-2 mg/kg), sodium hydroxybutyrate (50-100 mg/kg) and mebicar (250-500 mg/kg) exert a protective action in experimental arrhythmias. This effect is determined by the ability of the drugs to reduce intoxication phenomena, as well as by their antihypoxic and stress-protective properties. On the other hand, the drugs exert an antiarrhythmic effect proper, interfering with potassium ion balance. The protective effects of diazepam, sodium hydroxybutyrate and mebicar enable their application in combined therapy of arrhythmias of varying genesis.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the sedative effects of Chrysin (CHR) on sleep in mice, and its interaction with diazepam (DZP) and flumazenil (FLU), using thiopental sodium to induce sleep.
- Results showed that CHR significantly decreased the time it took for mice to fall asleep and increased total sleep duration, with the most effective dose being 10 mg/kg.
- Molecular docking studies indicated that CHR binds more strongly to GABA receptors than DZP and FLU, suggesting its potential to enhance traditional sedatives and warranting further research for clinical applications.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the pain-relieving (analgesic) and anxiety-reducing (anxiolytic) effects of citronellal (CTL) in Swiss mice using innovative, cost-effective models.
- Results showed that CTL significantly decreased various anxiety and pain-related behaviors in mice compared to a control group, even outperforming standard drugs like diclofenac sodium in some tests.
- In addition, in silico studies suggested that CTL interacts with specific receptors (GABA) and enzymes (COX), indicating its potential as an effective anxiolytic and analgesic agent through these molecular pathways.

Sleep disturbance causes many health problems in humans worldwide. This study evaluated the effects and possible mechanisms of sclareol (SCL) and/or linalool (LIN) through in vivo and in silico studies. For this, young chicks SCL (5, 10, and 20 mg/kg) and/or LIN (50 mg/kg) were orally administered thirty minutes before to the thiopental sodium (TS)-induced chicks with or without the standard drug diazepam (DZP: 3 mg/kg).

trans-Ferulic acid (TFA), a bioactive compound found in many plants, has been recognized for its diverse pharmacological activities, including potential neurological benefits. Previous studies suggest that TFA exerts anxiolytic effects via GABAergic pathways. This study aimed to investigate the sedative effects of TFA and its possible molecular mechanisms through in vivo and in silico approaches.

This study aimed at the evaluation of the sedative effect of phytol (PHY) with possible molecular mechanisms through in vivo and in silico studies. For this, adult male mice were randomly divided into six individual groups, namely control (vehicle), two standards (DZP: diazepam at 2 m/kg, FLU: flumazenil at 0.1 mg/kg), three test groups (PHY at 25, 50, and 75 mg/kg), and three combined groups with the DZP-2 and/or FLU-0.
