Inhibition of Synaptic Glutamate Exocytosis and Prevention of Glutamate Neurotoxicity by Eupatilin from Artemisia argyi in the Rat Cortex
TL;DR: In this paper , eupatilin, a constituent of Artemisia argyi, has been shown to decrease depolarization-evoked glutamate release from rat cortical synaptosomes and that this effect was accompanied by a reduction in cytosolic Ca2+ elevation, inhibition of P/Q-type Ca2-type channels, decreased synapsin I Ca 2+-dependent phosphorylation and no detectable effect on the membrane potential.
