Objective: To study the phytochemical and anxiolytic property of Cow urine Betel vine extract in albino mice. Methods: The anxiolytic activity of Cow urine Betel vine extract at (250 and 500mg/kg, p.o) in mice was assessed by using elevated plus-maze and light –dark model. Results: The Cow urine Betel vine extract significantly reduces the duration of time spent in the closed arm in Elevated plus-maze model and decreased entries into dark chamber in the Light-Dark model at the doses of 250 and 500mg/kg respectively. Conclusion: The Cow urine Betel vine extract possess anxiolytic activity since it reduced the duration of time spent in closed arm and also reduced the number of entries into dark chamber produced by both Elevated plus-maze and Light-dark model.
