Description
(+) -Bicuculline methobromide is a potent GABAA blocker. (+) -Bicuculline methobromide alters membrane properties and firing pattern. (+) -Bicuculline methobromide reduces the Apamin-sensitive afterhyperpolarization, while Apamin is a toxin isolated from bee venom to block small conductance Ca2+ -activated K+ channels. (+) -Bicuculline methobromide facilitates burst firing via blocking apamin-sensitive Ca2+ -activated K+ current[1].
