Product Description: Dimethyl lithospermate B (dmLSB) is a selective Na+ channel agonist. Dimethyl lithospermate B slows inactivation of sodium current (INa), leading to increased inward current during the early phases of the action potential (AP)[1][2].
Applications: Neuroscience-Neuromodulation
Formula: C38H34O16
