Serotonin receptor antagonists were unexpectedly without effect, but a GABAA receptor antagonist, bicuculline, or a glycine receptor antagonist, strychnine, completely suppressed the RVM stimulation-induced increase in IPSCs.

In this study, we have characterised the pharmacological properties of tertiary and quaternary analogues as well as bisquaternary dimers of strychnine and brucine at human alpha1 and alpha1beta glycine receptors and at a chimera consisting of the amino-terminal domain of the alpha7 nicotinic receptor (containing the orthosteric ligand binding site) and the ion channel domain of the 5-HT3A serotonin receptor.

Thus, the type A gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor antagonist bicuculline, the glycinergic antagonist strychnine, and the type 3 serotonin receptor antagonist ICS-205,930 block ACh-evoked currents in alpha9-injected Xenopus laevis oocytes with the following rank order of potency: strychnine > ICS-205,930 > bicuculline.

Glycine receptors (GlyRs) were studied via [(3) H] strychnine binding to synaptosomal membranes of rat spinal cord.
A ternary allosteric model was applied for the effects of tropeines, alcohols, minaxolone, nitrendipine, Zn (2+), muscarinic and serotonin receptor ligands.
