(-)-Bicuculline methobromide (l-Bicuculline methobromide) is a potent GABAA receptor antagonist. (-)-Bicuculline methobromide blocks afterhyperpolarizations (AHPs) mediated by Ca2+-activated K+ channels in various types of neurons[1].
(-)-Bicuculline methobromide (0.6 nmol/rat) attenuates the antiallodynic effect of Neurotropin[2].
