Helicid is a β-allopyranoside originally isolated from Helicia erratica that has diverse biological activities. It reverses decreases in serum corticosterone (CORT) levels and the expression of the serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtype 5-HT1A in rat hippocampus in a model of chronic unpredictable mild stress-induced depression when administered at a dose of 32 mg/kg per day. It also reverses stress-induced decreases in sucrose preference and immobility time in the forced swim test, indicating antidepressant-like activity, as well as decreases in locomotor activity, in the same model. Helicid increases...
