Preferred Label : picrotoxin;
MeSH definition : A noncompetitive antagonist at GABA-A receptors and thus a convulsant. Picrotoxin
blocks the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-activated chloride ionophore. Although it is most
often used as a research tool, it has been used as a CNS stimulant and an antidote
in poisoning by CNS depressants, especially the barbiturates.; A mixture of PICROTOXININ and PICROTIN that is a noncompetitive antagonist at GABA-A
receptors acting as a convulsant. Picrotoxin blocks the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-activated
chloride ionophore. Although it is most often used as a research tool, it has been
used as a CNS stimulant and an antidote in poisoning by CNS depressants, especially
the barbiturates.;
