title: [Inhibition of voltage-gated K+, Na+ and Ca2+ currents in neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cells by paeonol].
abstract: The effects of Paeonol (25 micrograms/ml to 400 micrograms/ml) on the membrane currents of NG108-15 cells were observed by means of whole cell voltage-clamp technique. The results showed that PA inhibited delayed outward K+ current (IK), and to a less extend, that the Na+ current (INa). Two Ca2+ currents (T and L type) were also inhibited significantly. All of the effects mentioned above were dose-dependent and reversible.
