Fossilia Mastodi OSSIS, which
is a skeletal fossil of a Mastodon, an ancient mammal, has been
found to have anxiolytic, sedative and anticonvulsant activities in
Oriental medicine. In this study, in vivo characterization of the
sedative activities of Fossilia Mastodi OSSIS was performed in order
to obtain basic information for the development of a putative
natural sedative. The 80% methanol extract of Fossilia Mastodi OSSIS
given per os at a dose of 3 g/kg in mice showed anxiolysis,
potentiation of pentobarbital sleeping time, reduced locomotor
activity, and anticonvulsive activity. Fossilia elicited GABA(A)
receptor-mediated anxiolysis. The data obtained suggest that the 80%
methanol extract of Fossilia Mastodi OSSIS contains some
biologically active principles with sedative activity.
