Newgreen Supply (+)-Bicuculline Powder CAS 485-49-4
Product Description
Bicuculline is a GABA receptor antagonist used primarily in neuroscience research. Due to its effect on inhibiting GABA receptors, bicuculline is used in laboratory studies to model specific aspects of epilepsy and other neurological disorders. It helps scientists better understand the mechanisms of neurotransmission and the role of GABA receptors in the nervous system.
It should be noted that bicuculline is not a drug, but a compound used for laboratory research and therefore has no clinical application.

Function
Bicuculline is a GABA receptor antagonist mainly used in neuroscience research. It is used in laboratory studies to model specific aspects of epilepsy and other neurological disorders. Specifically, the functions of Bicuculline mainly include:
1. Simulate epilepsy: Bicuculline can induce epileptiform discharges under experimental conditions, which is helpful for studying the pathogenesis of epilepsy.
2. Study GABA receptors: As an antagonist of GABA receptors, Bicuculline helps scientists study the role and regulatory mechanism of GABA receptors in the nervous system.
3. Nerve conduction research: The use of Bicuculline helps to study the mechanism of nerve conduction, especially the regulation of neurotransmitters related to GABA receptors.
It should be noted that bicuculline is not a drug, but a compound used for laboratory research and therefore has no clinical application.
Application
Bicuculline is mainly used in the field of neuroscience research, especially in neurotransmitter research, epilepsy research and GABA receptor research. These studies provide insights into the functions and regulatory mechanisms of the nervous system. It should be noted that bicuculline is not a drug, but a compound used for laboratory research and therefore has no clinical application.
