Chlorogenic Acid Decreases Glutamate Release from Rat Cortical Nerve Terminals by P/Q-Type Ca<sup>2+</sup> Channel Suppression: A Possible Neuroprotective Mechanism

The glutamatergic neurotransmitter system has received substantial attention in research on the pathophysiology and treatment of neurological disorders. The study investigated the effect of the polyphenolic compound chlorogenic acid (CGA) on glutamate release in rat cerebrocortical nerve terminals (...

description The glutamatergic neurotransmitter system has received substantial attention in research on the pathophysiology and treatment of neurological disorders.

This inhibition was prevented in the absence of extracellular Ca<sup>2+</sup> and was associated with the inhibition of 4-AP-induced elevation of Ca<sup>2+</sup> but was not attributed to changes in synaptosomal membrane potential. In line with evidence observed through molecular docking, CGA did not inhibit glutamate release in the presence of P/Q-type Ca<sup>2+</sup> channel inhibitors; therefore, CGA-induced inhibition of glutamate release may be mediated by P/Q-type Ca<sup>2+</sup> channels.
