Passiflora actinia hydroalcoholic extract and its major constituent, isovitexin, are neuroprotective against glutamate‐induced cell damage in mice hippocampal slices

ConclusionsThis study highlights new neuropharmacological activity of the Passiflora genus, suggesting that it can act as modulator of the glutamatergic system. The search for improved pharmacotherapies with novel mechanisms of action has been shown of great importance for the treatment of resistant neurological and psychiatric disorders.
