Elucidating the Molecular Basis of Action of a Classic Drug: Guanidine Compounds As Inhibitors of Voltage-Gated Potassium Channels

Guanidine and its alkyl analogs stimulate the neuromuscular junction presynaptically by inhibiting voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels, leading to enhanced release of acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft. This stimulatory effect of guanidine underlies its use in the therapy for the neuromuscular di...
