Description

General description

A cell-permeable blocker of intracellular calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum that acts by binding to the ryanodine receptor. Inhibits long-term depression and depotentiation of synaptic transmission. Has neuroprotective effects in cases of cerebral ischemia.

A skeletal muscle relaxant. Blocks intracellular calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum during excitation-contraction coupling by binding to the ryanodine receptor. Blocks long-term depression and depotentiation.
