Tetrodotoxin
Sodium Channel Blocker
Prevents influx of sodium into cell
preventing depolarization and subsequent action potentials and release of ACh
Saxitoxin
Sodium Channel Blocker
Prevents influx of sodium into cell
preventing depolarization and subsequent action potentials and release of ACh
Mu-conotoxin
Sodium Channel Blocker
Prevents influx of sodium into cell in skeletal muscles
preventing depolarization and subsequent action potentials
Lidocaine/procaine/tetracaine
Use Dependent Sodium Blocker
batrachotoxin
Sodium Channel Promoter
Keeps sodium channel open for a much longer period of time
leading to extensive depolarization
pyrethrins
Sodium Channel Promoter
Keeps sodium channel open for a much longer period of time
leading to extensive depolarization
brevetoxin
Sodium Channel Promoter
Keeps sodium channel open for a much longer period of time
leading to extensive depolarization
Botulinium Toxin
Bacterial Toxin
Tetanus Toxin
Bacterial Toxin
carbamylocholine/succinylcholine
Agonist
Activates the Ach receptor to open for prolonged periods of time. Leads to prolonged depolarization (tremors). Eventually
cells become desensitized because Na Channels are inactivated after prolonged depolarizations.. (relaxation)
curare
Antagonist
Competitive inhibitor of Ach.. binding of the chemical prevents binding of Ach. Reduces the amplitude of EPP's
leading to flaccid paralysis
physostigmine/neostigmine
