Goodyerin is a flavonol glycoside isolated from the whole plants of Goodyera schlechtendaliana which has been used as a substitute for the crude drug, Anoectochilus formosanus . The pharmacological properties of goodyerin were assayed for effects on spontaneous locomotor activity, on pentobarbital‐induced hypnosis, and on anticonvulsant activity against picrotoxin‐induced seizures in rodents. Goodyerin exhibited a significant and dose‐dependent sedative and anticonvulsant effect. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
