Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Picrotoxinin is used as a tool compound to study effect of GABAA blockade. It was administered to SD rats intravenously in dose 2 mg/kg.
Route of Administration: Intravenous
In Vitro Use Guide
Outside-out patch clamp recordings of responses of GlyR-transfected CHO1 cells on glycine co-administred with picrotoxinin show that picrotoxinin dose-dependendly blocks GlyR channels with IC50 of 2.4 uM
