Effects of Some Benzimidazole Derivatives on Electrical Activity in Molluscan Neurons

  • Published:
Neurophysiology Aims and scope

Abstract

We studied the effects of application of bemitil, 2-ethylbenzimidazole hydrochloride, and 2-methyl benzimidazole hydrochloride in 10-5 and 10-4 M concentration on identified molluscan neurons. It was found that the agents exert clear neurotropic effect, which, as we assume, are determined by their influence on different types of ion channels.
