Benefits of technology

[0023]Recent data suggested that 350 million people are affected from depression and out of 20 persons, 1 is having an episode of depression. As it is well established that the ultimate goal of anti-depressant treatment is the symptomatic and functional recovery helps a return to normal daily life functioning. Giving more importance to emotional, cognitive and social functioning in day to day life of depressive patients impaired functioning may have effect on a patient's life, therefore more alteration should be given on functioning when assessing the response of treatment of anti-depressant agent.
[0024]In the present study the pre-clinical safety and efficacy profile suggested that test formulation may exert its anti-depressant activity via its interaction with marker receptors i.e. melatonin and 5-HT The test formulation is beneficial in improving sleep and in desynchronizing the disturbed circadian rhythms making the test drug as a very useful, safe and effective anti-depressant agent. Thus the test formulation has potential to improve emotional, cognitive and social impaired behavior manifesting due to depressive behavior.
[0025]In fact depression is the leading cause of disease burden for women in both low as well as high income countries. Looking towards the global burden of depression which poses a substantial public health challenge both at social and economic levels as well as clinical levels, there are variety of evidence based therapeutic agents which can effectively combat this disease burden. Based on present study outcome it is proposed that treating depression following test formulation treatment is of clinical significance, affordable and also cost effective.

Problems solved by technology

In fact depression is the leading cause of disease burden for women in both low as well as high income countries.

example

Example-1

[0044]When the aqueous extract of Nyctanthes arbortristis (75 mg / kg), Ocimum tenuiflorum (75 mg / kg) and Hippophae salcifolia (50 mg / kg) was administered orally to animals of sleep deprivation stress model exhibited its activity as 5-HT antagonist as well as melatonin agonist effects suggesting improved sleep pattern as well as its anti-depressant potentials. The drug is having 5-HT2c receptor antagonist activity as it inhibits serotonin re-uptake by acting on several neuroplasticity associated molecules in the associated brain region. 5-HT antagonism will predominate on melatonergic action.

example-2

[0045]The aqueous extract of Ocimum tenuiflorum in the dose of 125 mg / kg and Hippophae salcifolia in the dose of 125 mg / kg mixed and given to experimentally designed sleep deprived rats a significant reduction in glutamate content was noticed along with increase in GABA synthesis, suggesting the improved brain fimction impairment in terms of anti-depressant activity of test drug. Overall the neuronal plasticity was enhanced. The test formulation acted as MT1 and MT2 agonist and maintained the hippocampal volume,

example-3

[0046]After determination of safety and efficacy of test formulation in pre-clinical studies the test formulation was utilized for human consumption. When the aqueous extract of Nyctanthes arbortristis in the dose of 425 mg / day and Ocimum tenuiflorum in the dose of 450 mg / day was mixed and given to selected cases of mild to moderate depression, improvement in loss of interest in various activities, loss of self esteem, loss

of energy and depressed mood was noticed through its activity on neurotransmitter biochemistry.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to Indian Patent Application No. 6161 / CHE / 2014, filed on Dec. 6, 2014.FIELD OF INVENTION[0002]Present invention relates to the development of a plant based formulation beneficial in the management of mild to moderate depression. This preparation may be further advantageous if used for the management of sleep disorders, behavioral abnormalities like psychotic and neurotic behavior, cognitive dysfunction, etc. The pharmacological activity of test formulation can be evaluated on neurotransmitter biochemistry including biogenic amine like dopamine, GABA, glutamate, 5-HT serotonin and also anxiety and depression scores as these bio-markers are significantly involved with depressive behavior. Melatonin is one of the most important targeted markers involved with depression and having a role in regulation of sleep. The activity of test formulation can be assessed on melatonin receptors distributed in different par...
