Phenytoin

SKU: orb1310151

Description

Phenytoin is a non-sedative hydantoin anticonvulsant that stabilizes neuronal membranes by modulating sodium channels, limiting seizure spread. It is widely used in neuroscience research to study epilepsy mechanisms, neuronal excitability, and muscle spindle sensitivity in both in vitro electrophysiology and in vivo seizure models.
