Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.

Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC₅₀/Ki	GABA receptor ^[1]
In vivo	Administration of PTZ (45 mg/kg i.p.) induces clonic convulsions in almost all of the animals after a single injection, typically within 3 min. However, 11% of animals need a second injection to cause clonus. Each rat shows jerking or myoclonus followed by clonus or tonic-clonic convulsions. This compound injection results in significant changes in GABAA receptor subunit mRNAs. A single PTZ-induced convulsion is associated with rapid changes in GABAA receptors^[1].
