Bicuculline methiodide
Based on 5 publication(s) in Google Scholar
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.

Biologische Aktivität
Bicuculline methiodide (30 μM) promotes N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) stimulation to facilitate burst firing in dopamine neurons[1].
Cluster discharges in the lateral habenular nucleus (LHb) of the antireward center are sufficient conditions for depression to occur. LHb neurons are usually classified into three types: silent, tonic-firing, burst-firing[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Please do not refer to only one article to determine the experimental conditions. It is recommended to determine the optimal experimental conditions (animal strain, age, dosage, frequency and cycle, detection time and indicators, etc.) through preliminary experiments before the formal experiment.
(-)-Bicuculline methobromide (0.6 nmol/rat) attenuates the antiallodynic effect of Neurotropin[3].
(-)-Bicuculline methobromide can be used in animal modeling to create epilepsy models and is capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier[4].
Administration: 12.5, 25, 50 or 100 ng/0.25 μL • inject into SN or corpus striatum through bilateral catheter implantation
(2) Simultaneously administer bilateral infusions at a rate of 0.25 μ L/min, and after the infusion is completed, insert the catheter in situ for an additional minute to prevent drug reflux.
(3) Due to the short-lived effect of (-) - Bicuculine methoromide in SN, rats were tested 5 minutes after completing the infusion.
