Glufosinate
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Glufosinate, a phosphinic acid analogue of glutamic acid, is a herbicide which is converted by plant cells into PT (L-phosphinothricin). Glufosinate exerts neurotoxic activity.

Description
In Vitro
Glufosinate (1-100 μM; 12DIV) disrupts cell-cell adhesion in differentiated V-SVZ neural stem cells (NSCs)[2].
Glufosinate (1-100 μM; 12DIV) significantly decreases Celsr2 gene expression at 100 μM[2].
Glufosinate impairs ependymal cell capability to synthetize cilia[2].

In Vivo
The Elimination of Glufosinate (oral intubation) in the blood takes place with a half-life of less than 4 hours in male and female rats[3].

Protocols
-
Neurotoxicity Study
This protocol assesses in vitro neurotoxicity by combining neuronal viability, mitochondrial/metabolic activity, neurite outgrowth, and optional neuronal network function readouts. Calcein-AM or resazurin/PrestoBlue readouts estimate viable or metabolically active cells; βIII-tubulin immunofluorescence detects neuronal morphology and neurite networks; TMRE detects mitochondrial membrane potential; and MEA recordings detect functional changes in neuronal network activity.
