title: Cirsiliol and caffeic acid ethyl ester, isolated from Salvia guaranitica, are competitive ligands for the central benzodiazepine receptors.
abstract: Ligands for the central benzodiazepine receptors have been detected in the crude ethanolic extract of Salvia guaranitica. The compounds responsible for the activity were isolated by bioassay-directed fractionation and have been characterised as cirsiliol (5, 3', 4'-trihydroxy 6,7-dimethoxyflavone) and caffeic acid ethyl ester.
