A new substance (R,S)-(3,4-dihydro-6,7-dimethoxyisoquinoline-1-yl)-2-cyclohexyl-N-(3,3-diphenylpropyl)-acetamide hydrochloride (BIIA388Cl), which demonstrates neuroprotective properties in animal models, was examined for its action on K(+) currents in acutely isolated rat hippocampal neurons using the patch-clamp/concentration clamp techniques in the whole-cell configuration. The delayed rectifier K(+)-current (I(DR)) was strongly inhibited by externally applied BIIA388Cl, while the transient A… Expand
