Present study reports CNS depressant activity of petroleum ether, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of Hibiscus mutabilis bark. Extracts were screened for CNS depressant activity by pentobarbitone-induced sleeping time and locomotor activity testing. Results indicate that petroleum ether extract showed best CNS depressant activity.
