In Vivo	(-)-Bicuculline methochloride (0.6 nmol/rat) attenuates the antiallodynic effect of Neurotropin[2]. Animal Model: Rat L5-SNL model[2] Dosage: 0.6 nmol/rat Administration: Intrathecal injection, 5 minutes before administration of Neurotropin (100 NU/kg, i.v.) Result: Attenuated the antiallodynic effect of Neurotropin.
