Abstract
50 species belonging to 27 genera were investigated.
Extracts of 47 species /=94 %/ have a depressant /sedative/ activity.
The highest degree of decrease in motor activity was measured in Ballota nigra L., Calamintha clinopodium Spenn., Dracocephalum grandiflorum L., Stachys germanica L., S. receta L. and S. sylvatica L.
Extracts of 47 species /=94 %/ have a depressant /sedative/ activity.
The highest degree of decrease in motor activity was measured in Ballota nigra L., Calamintha clinopodium Spenn., Dracocephalum grandiflorum L., Stachys germanica L., S. receta L. and S. sylvatica L.
An excitant activity was observed only in 3 species /=6 %/.
Sedative activity seems to be a pharmacotaxonomic character of Labiatae.
