Abstract:
:We report the characterization of a new class of glutamate uptake inhibitors isolated from Phoneutria nigriventer venom. Glutamate transport activity was assayed in rat cerebrocortical synaptosomes by using [(3)H]-L-glutamate. PhTx4 inhibited glutamate uptake in a dose dependent manner. The IC(50) value obtained was 2.35+/-0.9 microg/ml which is in the observed range reported for glutamate uptake blockers. Tx4-7, one of PhTx4 toxins, showed the strongest inhibitory activity (50.3+/-0.69%, n=3).

BRAIN RESEARCH文献大全abstract::These experiments provide a direct test of the hypothesis that median raphe lesion- or PCPA-induced hyperactivity in the rat is mediated specifically by the hippocampus.
