Anxiolysis by the BYA, BPA, YPA, BA and PA extracts indicates efficacy for treating anxiety disorders, and the sedative effect of the BYA, YPA and PA extracts indicates efficacy for treating sleep disorders. None of the extracts significantly induced alteration in locomotor activity, decreased muscle coordination, or anterograde amnesia at the maximum oral dose tested.
