The Mechanism Of Action Of Polyphenol On Changes In The Dynamics Of Calcium In The Synaptosomes Of The Rat Brain Against The Background Of Glutamate

Abstract

The manuscript shows a short data used using fluorescent probes to study the effect of polyphenol PС-7 on changes in the dynamics of intracellular Ca2+ content in rat brain synaptosomes, depending on the site of glutamate binding on calcium channels by a specific mediator with glutamate. To measure the amount of cytosolic Ca2+ synaptosomes, we calculated using the Grinkevich equation. It has been shown that polyphenol PС-7 binds to the β1-subunit of the voltage-gated calcium channel and allosterically changes its conformation so that the conductivity for Ca2+ ions increases through the channel, the blocking effect of polyphenol PС-7 can be explained by its binding to voltage-gated calcium channels and activating them.
