Acacetin inhibits glutamate release and prevents kainic acid-induced neurotoxicity in rats.
An excessive release of glutamate is considered to be a molecular mechanism associated with several neurological diseases that causes neuronal damage. Therefore, searching for compounds that reduce glutamate neurotoxicity is necessary. In this study, the possibility that the natural flavone acacetin...
