Pharmacology
The essential oil of S. hortensis, in concentrations of 50-100 μg/ml, produced spasmolytic effects, considered to be chiefly myotropic, on isolated smooth muscles from rabbits, guineapigs and cats (Shipochliev, 1968a). General depression without ataxia was observed in mice receiving ip injections of 50 mg/kg. as a 5% emulsion, with or without preliminary treatment with 150mg iproniazid phosphate/kg given ip 24 hr earlier. The effect on the central nervous system did not resemble that of reserpine (Shipochliev, 1968b).
