Different methods were used to investigate the pharmacology of 5-methylfurmethiodide (MFI). A) The chemical structure of MFI. B) Ascaris suum muscle strip preparations are dissected from the anterior region of the worm and mounted in a water bath for the contraction assay. C) Diagram of the two micro-pipette current-clamp and voltage-clamp recording from the bag region of the A. suum muscle cell and the application of solutions by microperfusion. The current-injecting micropipette (I) and voltage-sensing micropipette (V) are illustrated.
