Bicuculline methiodide (Standard)
Bicuculline methiodide (Standard) is the analytical standard of Bicuculline methiodide (HY-103474). This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Bicuculline methiodide ((-)-Bicuculline methiodide) is a potent GABAA blocker. Bicuculline methiodide alters membrane properties and firing pattern. Bicuculline methiodide reduces the Apamin-sensitive afterhyperpolarization, while Apamin is a toxin isolated from bee venom to block small conductance Ca2+ -activated K+ channels. Bicuculline methiodide facilitates burst firing via blocking apamin-sensitive Ca2+ -activated K+ current.
