Receptor binding activities of Chlorella on cysteinyl leukotriene CysLT, glutamate AMPA, ion channels, purinergic P2Y, tachykinin NK2 receptors and adenosine transporter

Abstract: A Chlorella powder was tested in a total of 129 in vitro receptor binding assay systems. The results showed a potent inhibition of this powder on cysteinyl leukotriene CysLT2, and glutamate AMPA in a dose-concentration manner with IC(50) mean +/- SEM values of 20 +/- 4.5 microg/mL and 44 +/- 14 microg/mL, respectively. Other moderate and weak activities reflected in competitive binding experiments were seen versus adenosine transporter; calcium channel L-type, benzothiazepine; gabapentin; kainate, NMDA-glycine… Show more

“…Hence, it is possible that interplay between leukotriene and AMPA receptors also plays a role in the observed involvement of the 5-LOX system in cocaine actions and that leukotriene receptor-mediated events are involved in modifications of the GluR1 AMPA receptors observed in our studies. Interestingly, when the receptor activity and affinity of a natural product, Chlorella, were tested in 129 in vitro binding assay systems, it was observed that this compound acts on both leukotriene CysLT receptors and glutamate AMPA receptors (Cheng et al, 2010). …”
