The lyophilized product may be difficult to visualize. Add solvent directly to the centrifuged vial. Tap the vial to aid in dissolving the lyophilized product. Tilt and gently roll the liquid over the walls of the vial. Avoid vigorous vortexing. Light vortexing for up to 3 seconds is acceptable if needed. For long-term storage in solution, we recommend preparing a stock solution by dissolving the product in sterile water at a concentration of at least 0.1 mg\/mL. Divide the stock solution into small aliquots and store at -20°C. Before use, thaw the relevant vial(s) and dilute to the desired working concentration in your working buffer. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions in working buffers just before use. Repeat freeze-thawing may result in loss of activity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shipped at room temperature.

Quaternary salts of Bicuculline were shown to have effects not mediated by GABA receptors2.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eScientific background\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e(-)-Bicuculline methochloride is a synthetic compound that acts as water soluble GABA(A) receptor antagonist. The compound is a quaternary salt of bicuculline (BIC), a competitive antagonist of the GABA(A) receptors. (-)-Bicuculline methochloride is more stable at physiological pH and more soluble in aqueous solutions than bicuculline. The compound was shown to affect other neurotransmitter systems such as the cholinergic system1.GABA(A) receptors are members of the Cys-loop superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels. They mediate GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) action, a major inhibitory neurotransmitter, through the central nervous system (CNS). They play an important role in inhibiting cell excitation in the CNS. They are considered to be a major target of antiseizure drugs2,3.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLead time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-2 Business Days\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Israel\/IL\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eApplications key\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eApplication key: FC- Flow cytometry, IFC- Indirect flow cytometry, IHC- Immunohistochemistry,LCI- Live cell imaging, Calcium imaging assay,Cell survival assay, Electrophysiology, Neurite outgrowth assay.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBioassay tested:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alomone Labs","offers":[{"title":"10 mg \/ 1","offer_id":53249707147629,"sku":"B-137-10MG-1","price":92.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 mg \/ 1","offer_id":53311554978157,"sku":"B-137-100MG-1","price":539.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 mg \/ 1","offer_id":53311555010925,"sku":"B-137-25MG-1","price":192.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 mg \/ 1","offer_id":53311555043693,"sku":"B-137-5MG-1","price":76.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 mg \/ 1","offer_id":53311555076461,"sku":"B-137-50MG-1","price":306.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/B-137_gr.gif?v=1778544413","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/negative-bicuculline-methochloride-bhb21300055","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
