One of the most important factors to consider in prescribing drugs that act on the CNS, is the cause dependence, even more so those with anxiolytic-sedative. For this reason the search for new active ingredients derived from plants, which do not generate this kind of dependence is justified, the study species Tagetes minuta L. (wacataya), selected because they are traditionally used in Bolivia for their anxiolytic action, also showed significant values in a screening of biological activity in in vivo models and compared to reference drugs. Numerous studies worldwide were performed using the essential oil of the same, to date no work addresses the importance of this species and the capacity to perform actions on the CNS. The results of this study showed that Tagetes minuta, has activity in vivo, capable of sedative anxiolytic.

Keywords : ansiolytic; sedative.
