Bicuculline
Bicuculline ((+) -Bicuculline) is A competing neurotransmitter GABAA receptor antagonist (IC50=2 μM) . Bicuculline also blocks Ca2+ activating potassium (SK) channels and subsequently blocks slow post-hyperpolarization (slow AHP) . Bicuculline has anticonvulsant activity. Bicuculline can be used to induce seizures in mice[1][2][3][4].
