The influence of phytopreparations containing phenylpropanoids on the physical activity and endurance was studied in white male mice (weighing 18–20 g) using the conventional forced swim test. It was established that the physical activity of animals was most increased under the action of the following preparations: common lilac ( Syringa vulgaris) tincture, spiny eleuterococcus ( Eleutherococcus senticosus) liquid extract, purple coneflower ( Echinacea purpurea) tincture, sharp-leaved willow ( Salix acutifolia) dry extract, and pink rhodiola ( Rhodiola rosea L.) tincture. These preparations (except for Syringa vulgaris tincture) and aspen ( Populus tremula) liquid extract also considerably increased the endurance of animals. The actoprotective properties of Saint Mary thistle ( Silybum marianum) liquid extract (a hapatoprotective preparation) were not as manifested. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
