Description
Bicuculline ((+)-Bicuculline; d-Bicuculline), as a convulsant alkaloid, is a competitive neurotransmitter GABAA receptor antagonist (IC50=2 μM). Bicuculline also blocks Ca2+-activated potassium (SK) channels and subsequently blocks the slow afterhyperpolarization (slow AHP) .

How to use
In Vitro:
Bicuculline ((+)-Bicuculline; d-Bicuculline) (1 and 3 μM) attains the maximal response of GABA. Bicuculline appears to shift the dose–response curves of GABA in parallel to the right without decreasing GABA maximal response, suggesting that it is a competitive antagonist at α1β2γ2L GABAA receptors.
