Bioactivity

• In Vivo:
  Anti-immobility effect of Methyl isoeugenol 250 mg kg(-1) in the FST suggested an antidepressive like property. Unlike AMPT, pretreatment with PCPA reversed the antidepressant like effect ofMethyl isoeugenol. Anxiolytic and antidepressant like properties of Methyl isoeugenol and suggested the participation of serotonergic pathways.
