(-)-Bicuculline methochloride

Biological Activity

[Description]:

(-)-Bicuculline methochloride (l-Bicuculline methochloride) is a potent GABAA receptor antagonist. (-)-Bicuculline methochloride blocks afterhyperpolarizations (AHPs) mediated by Ca2+-activated K+ channels in various types of neurons[1].

[In Vivo]

(-)-Bicuculline methochloride (0.6 nmol/rat) attenuates the antiallodynic effect of Neurotropin[2]. Animal Model: Rat L5-SNL model[2] Dosage: 0.6 nmol/rat Administration: Intrathecal injection, 5 minutes before administration of Neurotropin (100 NU/kg, i.v.) Result: Attenuated the antiallodynic effect of Neurotropin.
