| | British Journal of Pharmacology - Modulation of voltage-gated channel currents by harmaline and harmane |
 | | Harmaline and harmane (Sigma, Taufkirchen, Germany) were freshly dissolved in the respective bath solution (Table 1) at a concentration of 1 mM. |
 | | Figure 1 illustrates the action of harmaline (a, c, e) and harmane (b, d, f) on voltage-activated calcium (a, b), sodium (c, d) and potassium channel currents (e, f) under control conditions and after a steady state of the effect had been reached. |
 | | While harmaline reduced the current by 25% (at lower voltages) to 45% (at more depolarised voltages) (Figure 4e), the effect of harmane increased from 50% at lower to 75% at higher depolarisations (Figure 4f). |
