QX-314 bromide blocks action potentials propagation.

Species: Rat
Cell Line/Tissue: Hippocampus
QX-314 was used to block voltage-gated sodium channels, i.e. prevent action potential propagation. The compound develops its effect in 1 microM concentration, in use-dependent mode. Figure: EPSC evoked by electrical stimulation in hippocampal pyramidal neuron at positive membrane potential (+40 mV); QX-314 is added to intracellular solution.
