Biological Data

Biological description

Prototypic, competitive GABAA receptor antagonist which displaces GABA from the agonist binding site to prevent receptor activation. 

Also acts as a negative allosteric inhibitor of channel opening to inhibit GABAA receptor activation by anaesthetic agents.


Reversibly and competitively blocks GABAA receptor mediated currents. Widely used to isolate glutamate receptor mediated EPSCs (excitatory postsynaptic potentials).


Shows convulsant action and induces epilepsy.

Water soluble methiodide, methochloride and methobromide salts also available.

Solubility & Handling

Solubility overview Soluble in DMSO (100mM)
Storage instructions +4°C
Storage of solutions Prepare and use solutions on the same day if possible. Store solutions at -20°C for up to one month if storage is required. Equilibrate to RT and ensure the solution is precipitate free before use.
Handling Rapid hydrolysis may occur in solutions made with aqueous acid. You should therefore make and use these within 1 hour.
Shipping Conditions Stable for ambient temperature shipping. Follow storage instructions on receipt.
