Effect of the administration of the methanolic extract of Galphimia glauca (GgMeOH), the Galphimine-Rich Fraction (GRF), and the different galphimines (G-A, G-B, and G-E) on the acute symptoms of Apomorphine (APO)-induced schizophrenia in mice during the Open Field Test (OFT) (observation time: 30 min).

Total crossings, rearings, stereotyped behaviors and grooming (number of events), time spent on grooming (seconds). Apomorphine (APO); Vehicle (VEH): mice with 1% Tween 20; HAL: Haloperidol; GgMeOH: Galphimia glauca methanolic extract; GRF: Galphimine-Rich Fraction; G-A, G-B, and G-E (galphimines) from Galphimia glauca. ANOVA, Dunnett post-hoc test (results are means ± Standard Error (SEM), ∗p ≤0.05 was considered significant difference in comparison with APO.
