(+)-Bicuculline (1-100μM) dose-dependently inhibits the Cl- conductance generated by 40 μM GABA. (+)-Bicuculline inhibits GABA(A) α2/β1/γ2 currents activated by γ-Aminobutyric acid, (+)-Bicuculline concentration from 10 nM to 2 μM progressively decreased the amplitude of GABA-activated ion currents. Furthermore, (+)-bicuculine also blocks small-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels.

Cell Experiment | |
---|---|
Cell lines | Primary cortical neurons from rat E18 embryos |
Preparation method | Bicuculline treatment could potentiate synaptic NMDAR signaling in the primary cortical neurons. Bicuculline led to a rapid decrease in STEP61 expression and a concomitant increase in the tyrosine phosphorylation of STEP substrates including GluN2B, Pyk2, and ERK1/2. |

Animal A (mg/kg) = Animal B (mg/kg) multiplied by | Animal B Km |
Animal A Km |
For example, to modify the dose of Compound A used for a mouse (20 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 20 mg/kg by the Km factor for a mouse and then divide by the Km factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for Compound A of 10 mg/kg.
