    Citation Excerpt :

    As a first step in this direction, it is necessary to substantiate scientifically the hypnotic potential of the active principles of many of these herbs in animal models. α-Asarone, an active principle of Acorus species, is one such potential compound deserving pre-clinical evaluation of its hypnotic property (Gulia et al., 2017; Kumar and Gulia, 2016). Ability of α-Asarone for the induction of hypothermia and sedation was shown in seizure models and when it was co-administered with pentobarbital, reserpine and chlorpromazine (Dandiya and Menon, 1963, 1964; Menon and Dandiya, 1967; Pages et al., 2010).
