Picrotoxinin is a bitter toxin derived from natural plants; it is found in the seeds of a climbing plant known as Anamirta cocculus and acts as a chloride channel blocker[1, 2]. Picrotoxinin is a non-competitive antagonist of the GABAA receptor, negatively modulating the effects of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) on GABAA receptors[3]. Picrotoxinin is a potent convulsant[4].
In vitro, treatment of Xenopus laevis oocytes with Picrotoxinin (0.001μM-1mM) for 90s inhibited GABA-induced chloride currents in a concentration-dependent manner; furthermore, it blocked the opening of chloride channels induced by various positive allosteric modulators (etomidate, propofol, diazepam, thiopentone sodium, loreclezole, and allopregnanolone)[5].

| Cell lines | Xenopus laevis oocytes |
Preparation Method | Recordings were performed using the two-electrode voltage-clamp technique (holding potential: -60mV) in Xenopus laevis oocytes expressing recombinant human α1β2γ2L GABAA receptors. To evaluate the antagonistic effects of Picrotoxinin on positive allosteric modulators, experiments were conducted in two distinct modes: In the GABA-modulation mode, varying concentrations of Picrotoxinin (ranging from 0.001µM to 1mM) were co-incubated for 90s with 5µM GABA and the EC50 concentration of each respective positive modulator, in order to assess Picrotoxinin's ability to block the GABA-enhancing effect. In the GABA-mimetic mode, Picrotoxinin was co-incubated for 90s with the EC50 concentration of each positive modulator in the absence of GABA, to evaluate its inhibitory effect on the direct agonistic action of the positive modulators. A washout period of 3-5min was implemented after each drug application to prevent receptor desensitization and ensure the complete recovery of the baseline current. |
Reaction Conditions | 0.001µM-1mM; 90s |
Applications | Picrotoxinin inhibits GABA-induced chloride currents in a concentration-dependent manner, and concentration-dependently blocks the opening of chloride channels induced by GABA itself, as well as by various positive allosteric modulators. |
