Description

Picrotin is an inhibitor of glycine receptors (GlyRs) which blocks α2 GlyR, α1 GlyR and α3 GlyR[1][2].


Picrotin is an organic heteropentacyclic compound that is picrotoxinin in which the olefinic double bond has undergone addition of water to give the corresponding tertiary alcohol. It is the less toxic component of picrotoxin, lacking GABA activity. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is an organic heteropentacyclic compound, an epoxide, a tertiary alcohol, a gamma-lactone, a diol and a picrotoxane sesquiterpenoid. It derives from a picrotoxinin.
