These (nor) tropeines inhibited [(3) H] strychnine binding to glycine receptors in synaptosomal membranes of rat spinal cord.
Displacing potencies were also measured for [(3) H] granisetron binding to 5-HT (3) type serotonin receptors of rat cerebral cortex.

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.

Thiocolchicoside inhibited the function of recombinant human strychnine-sensitive glycine receptors composed of the alpha1 subunit with a potency (median inhibitory concentration of 47 microM) lower than that apparent with recombinant GABA (A) receptors.

Since the binding of the radiolabelled channel blocker [3H]-MK801 is generally considered an affordable index of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA)-sensitive glutamate receptor activation, we examined the effects of clinically effective treatment (3 weeks, daily administration) of the atypical antipsychotic drug olanzapine (32 micromol/kg/5 ml) on the specific binding of [3H]-MK801 specific binding and on the strychnine-insensitive glycine sites (glycine B) in synaptic plasma membranes (SPM) prepared from the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) of rats sacrificed after different (24, 60, 120 h) washout periods.
