Phytochemicals are active ingredients which possess therapeutic properties that are considered as a medicine or drug. Mangrove plants tends to establish that they may be a source of novel compounds along with providing a new source for many already known biologically active compounds. From the literature scanning Acanthus ilicifolius, a mangrove plant has been used for in vitro evaluation of CNS depressant. Different classes of CNS depressant works in different ways, but all have the ability to reduce activity in the Central Nervous System and lower levels awareness in the brain. Mostly CNS depressants used in the conditions of Insomnia, Anxiety, Epilepsy etc. One of the common pathological factor involved to cause those disorder is GABA (Gamma Amino Butyric acid).
