Methods ICR mice were randomly divided into control group, dexzopicron (positive drug, 0.40 mg·kg-1) group and AVLWE low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups (0.58, 1.17, 2.34 g·kg-1), ig once a day for four weeks, and body weight was weighed weekly. After 60 min of administration one day before the last administration, open field video analysis system was used to detect 5 min autonomous activities of mice in each group. 45 min after the last administration, animals in each group were given a subthreshold hypnotic dose of 1% pentobarbital sodium (35 mg·kg-1), and the sleep latency, number of sleeping animals and sleep time within 30 min were recorded. After anesthesia, the animals were killed, the brain was weighed and the brain coefficient was calculated. SD rats were divided into control group, model group, dexzopicron (positive drug, 0.27 mg·kg-1) group and AVLWE low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups (0.40, 0.81, 1.62 g·kg-1), ig once a day for four weeks, and body weight was weighed weekly. Except for the control group, the insomnia model of rats was prepared by ip p-chlorophenylalanine (PCPA) on the 28th and 29th day of administration. At the end of administration, the brain weight was measured and the brain coefficient wascalculated. The hypothalamus was taken and the contents of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), dopamine (DA) and 5- hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) were determined by ELISA kit method. Results The results of mouse experiment showed that compared with the control group, the body weight of each administration group was significantly decreased from week one to four (P < 0.01). The incidence of sleep in dexzopiclone tablets and AVLWE medium and high dose groups was significantly increased (P < 0.05, 0.01); Sleep time of dexzopiclone tablets and AVLWE medium and high dose groups was significantly prolonged (P < 0.05); The brain coefficients of AVLWE low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups were significantly increased (P < 0.01). Experimental results in rats showed that, compared with control group, body weight of AVLWE high-dose group was significantly decreased from week one to four (P < 0.05, 0.01). Compared with model group, brain coefficient of AVLWE high-dose group was significantly increased (P < 0.05); DA was significantly decreased (P < 0.05) and 5-HIAA was significantly increased (P < 0.01) in dexzopiclone tablet group and high dose AVLWE group, while 5-HT was significantly increased (P < 0.05, 0.01) in low, medium and high dose AVLWE groups. Conclusion AVLWE has the effect of improving sleep. The mechanism of action may be related to the content of 5-HT and DA."/>
