17681355 Kilb W, Sinning A, Luhmann HJ: Model-specific effects of bumetanide on epileptiform activity in the in-vitro intact hippocampus of the newborn mouse. Neuropharmacology. 2007 Sep;53(4):524-33. Epub 2007 Jun 30.

It has been recently suggested that bumetanide, which blocks Na (+)-dependent K (+)-Cl (-)-cotransporter isoform 1 (NKCC1) and thus attenuates depolarizing GABAergic responses, could soothe epileptiform activity in immature nervous systems.
Inhibition of ligand-gated Cl (-) channels by 10 microM gabazine and 30 microM strychnine induced interictal activity (IA) that was only marginally affected by bumetanide.

Additionally, inhibition of a Cl (-) uptake transporter NKCC1 with bumetanid effectively eliminated glycine-evoked a weak depolarization in rods, suggesting that NKCC1 maintains a high Cl (-) level in rods, which causes to depolarize in responding to glycine input.
