Linopirdine at low concentrations mimicked NGF action on neuronal excitability. (A) The time course of M/KCNQ currents inhibited by different concentrations of linopirdine. The record is from a phasic neuron and the M/KCNQ current was recorded at −60 mV as described before. Perforated patch method was used in these experiments. (B) Concentration–response curve for linopirdine-induced inhibition of M/KCNQ currents fitted with the Hill function. IC50 for linopirdine is 2.1 ± 0.2 μM, and the coefficient is 1.2 ± 0.1 (C, E, and G) The effects of linopirdine at 0.7 μM (LP, 0.7 μM) on firing of action potential from phasic-1, phasic-2, and tonic neurons, respectively. (D, F, and H) Summary data for C, E, and G, respectively. *, P < 0.05. Error bars indicate SEM.
