Ethanol 7.2%, v/v was given to the rats in a liquid diet for 21 days and then was withdrawn from the diet and animals were observed at 6&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; and 24th h for withdrawal signs like depressive behavior and locomotor hyperactivity. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The phytochemical testing of extract revealed the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, steroids, and tannins.&lt;em&gt; Bacopa monnieri&lt;/em&gt; extract (100, 200 and 300 mg/kg, oral) and fluoxetine (10 mg/kg i.p) treatment at the 6&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; and 24&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; h of ethanol withdrawal produced the significant (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0.001) decrease in the immobility time as compared to the disease control rats when tested on forced swim test and tail suspension test. &lt;em&gt;Bacopa monnieri&lt;/em&gt; extract and fluoxetine treatment produced significant (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0.001) inhibitory effects on locomotor hyperactivity as well. Histopathological examination did not show any remarkable pathological and microscopic changes. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Findings from the present study showed that&lt;em&gt; Bacopa monnieri&lt;/em&gt; extract treatment has beneficial effects on ethanol withdrawal depressive-like behavior in rats.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6s</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Research Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">s48</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lalit Sharma&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Aditi Sharma&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Girdhari Lal Gupta&lt;sup&gt;3,*&lt;/sup&gt;, Gopal Singh Bisht&lt;sup&gt;4,* &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

There is an exponential increase in usage of green medicines due to less cost and fewer side effects. The family Pinaceae, is largest conifer in species diversity. Pinus is the largest genus of monoecious, resiniferous, evergreen trees commonly known as Pines. Three species of pines occur wild in Indian Himalayas &lt;em&gt;Pinus roxburghii, Pinus wallichiana , Pinus gerardiana&lt;/em&gt;. In addition, the constituents present in these plants are beneficial for the purpose of treatment of various ailments. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Information was collected from scientific journals, books, and reports via electronic search tools( Medline, Pubmed etc.) &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; This review summarizes the existing information on three species of Pinus in relation to their pharmacognostic properties, phytochemistry, ethanopharmacology and pharmacological activities.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Review Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">611</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aditi Sharma, Lalit Sharma, Rohit Goyal* &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
