Antipsychotic Activity of Ethanolic Extracts of Crinum asiaticum and Crinum defixum in Animal Models.

The current study examined the antipsychotic properties of ethanolic extracts of Crinum asiaticum (EECA) and Crinum defixum (EECD). The effects of the extracts on rodents' ketamine-induced hyperactivity, amphetamine-induced stereotypy, forced swim test, conditioned avoidance response, and catalepsy were assessed. According to the findings, EECA and EECD both significantly outperformed typical antipsychotic medications in antipsychotic-like behaviours across a variety of behavioural paradigms.
