To assess the effect Passiflora incarnata mother tincture on ethanol withdrawal-induced anxiety and depression in mice. The mice were divided into six different groups. Each group contains six animals. They were treated with 10% ethanol (2000mg/kg; p.o) from day 1 to 6 days, later 24hrs, ethanol withdrawal reactions were evaluated using different behavioural models like Elevated Plus Maze (EPM), Light And Dark Test (LDT), Hole Board Test (HBT), Marble Burying Test (MBT), Tail Suspension Test (TST). On last day, mice treated orally with P. incarnata were tested for anxiety and depression. The P. incarnata shows the protective effect against ethanol withdrawal anxiety and depression in mice. All the doses of P. incarnata employed in this study showed significantly (p<0.05) increased time spent in open arm in EPM, time spent in light area in LDT, head dips in HBT. Also, there was significant (p<0.05) decreased marbles buried and reduced immobility duration in TST as compared to ethanol withdrawal group. In conclusion P. incarnata showed anxiolytic and anti-depressant activity in mice with ethanol withdrawal.
