Summary diagram of the effects of 5-methylfurmethiodide (MFI) on the membrane ion-channels of Ascaris suum muscle. MFI is a weak agonist of the nicotinic acetylcholine channels on the bag (up arrow: nAChR). MFI activates mecamylamine-resistant non-selective cation channels (up arrow: MRCAT: TRP?). MFI raises the threshold of voltage-activated calcium currents (down arrow: VACC). MFI inhibits opening of voltage-activated potassium currents (down arrow: K channels)
