Selective Interactions of <i>Valeriana officinalis</i> Extracts and Valerenic Acid with [<sup>3</sup>H]Glutamate Binding to Rat Synaptic Membranes

<table>Effects of different valerian, valerenic acid, and isoborneol concentrations on [<sup>3</sup>H]Glutamate binding. Synaptic membranes were incubated with different concentrations of aqueous valerian extract, valerenic acid, and isoborneol in presence of 20 nM [<sup>3</sup>H]Glutamate. The maximum glutamate binding was 160% for valerian extract concentration of 0.001 mg/mL. The [<sup>3</sup>H]Glutamate displacement curves in presence of valerenic acid and isoborneol were very different from the curve in presence of valerian. Each point represents at least three independent assays.</table>
