초록

Neuropharmacological profile of Humulus lupulus (hop) extract was studied in mice. At doses above 100 mg/kg(i.p.), it decreased spontaneous locomotor activity and raised the nociceptive threshold in the hot-plate test. At doses above 250 mg/kg (i.p.), it increased pentobarbital-induced sleeping time and produced muscle relaxant effect. At the dose of 500 mg/kg, anticonvulsive effect against pentylenetetrazole-induced convulsion and hypothermic effect was observed.
