Objective: To study the antidepressant activity and mechanism of extracts from Artocarpus styracifolius Pierre (AS). Method: Antidepressant activity was tested by tail suspension test
force swimming test and reserpine model of different polar extracts from AS
and serotonin (5-HT) content was determined by fluorescence spectrophotometry. AS was given by intragastric administration for 10 days (fluoxetine group 50 mg· kg-1; each AS group 200 mg· kg-1). Result: The different polar extracts of AS could shorten immobility time in tail suspension test and force swimming test on mice(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Action of n-butanol extract of AS could have an antagonistic action on reserpine caused drop of body temperature and blepharoptosis and improved 5-HT content in hippocampal convolution and corpus striatum on mice(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion: Extracts of AS had antidepressant activity
