Niranthin is a lignan isolated from various <jats:italic>Phyllanthus<\/jats:italic> sources. The literature survey on niranthin highlights wide ranges of the therapeutic potentials. In a present study, based on our previous investigations, we evaluated pure, isolated and characterized niranthin as an anxiolytic agent. The niranthin [6-[(2<jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic>,3<jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic>)-3-[(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)methyl]-4-methoxy-2-(methoxymethyl)butyl]-4-methoxy-1,3-benzodioxole] was purchased from commercial source and further subjected for assessment of its anxiolytic potentials using popular animal models including Elevated plus-maze model\/test (EPM) and Light &amp; Dark Exploration test (L&amp;D). GABA-A receptor mediation was evaluated by pretreating the mice with the GABA-A receptor antagonist Flumazenil before the EPM task. Molecular docking simulation studies (pdb id: 4COF) carried out by <jats:italic>Vlife QSAR<\/jats:italic> software showed that niranthin (docking score: \u2212\u00a062.1714\u00a0kcal\/mol) have shown comparatively best docking score compared to the standard drug Diazepam (docking score: \u2212\u00a063.1568\u00a0kcal\/mol). To conclude, Niranthin has probable potential in the management of anxiety disorder. Our in-silico and in-vivo analysis (indirectly) indicated the plausible role of GABA mediation for anxiolytic activity. Although, these studies are preliminary, future in depth experimental explorations will be required to use Niranthin as anti-anxiety drug in near future.<\/jats:p>\n                <jats:p><jats:bold>Graphic Abstract<\/jats:bold><\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s13659-020-00284-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,11]],"date-time":"2020-11-11T07:02:56Z","timestamp":1605078176000},"page":"223-233","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Identification of Anxiolytic Potential of Niranthin: In-vivo and Computational Investigations"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4557-9322","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Atul R.","family":"Chopade","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Prakash M.","family":"Somade","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pratik P.","family":"Somade","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suraj N.","family":"Mali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"284_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"217","DOI":"10.1007\/s10354-015-0360-y","volume":"165","author":"S Kasper","year":"2015","unstructured":"S.
