Pre-treatment with a single dose of (PhSe) 2 prevented the effect of strychnine, a substrate for CYPs, abolishing lethality in mice.
The liver and kidney were utilized for determination of histopathology, biochemical [aspartate (ALT) and alanine (AST) aminotransferases, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total bilirrubin (TB) and gamaglutamyl transferase (GGT)] and toxicological parameters [thiobarbituric reactive species (TBARS) levels, catalase activity, ascorbic acid, nonprotein thiols (NPSH) and aminolevulinate dehydratase (-ALA-D) activity].

In order to study whether the membrane hyperpolarization and firing inhibition caused by dopamine and levodopa on rat midbrain dopamine cells are affected by the inhibition of brain catechol-O-methyl-transferase (COMT), intracellular electrophysiological recordings were made from these neurons maintained in vitro.

Furthermore, strychnine (1 micromol/L), a glycine receptor antagonist, inhibited this effect of glycine, suggesting the possible involvement of the glycine receptor/chloride channel in the mechanism.
Apoptosis was detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated d-uridine triphosphate (dUTP)-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining in these conditions.
