Abstract

Development of anxiolytic drugs is impaired due to the absence of a proper and reliable method. We have used the ethological aspects of animals such as intent to mate and food avoidance to research an anxiolytic drug called Aforte. Our findings have clearly shown that the ethological parameters are more reliable than the conventional pharmacological test such as elevated plus maze test, rota rod test, forced swim test. The ethological parameters that we have used have strong evolutionary and genetic link therefore the findings obtained by our study is far more reproducible and reliable than the primitive methods of conventional pharmacology.
