Verruculogen is a tremorgenic mycotoxin, affecting CNS functions, arresting mammary carcinoma cells in vitro, affecting potassium channels. Verruculogen decreases GABA levels in CNS. Tremorgenic doses of verruculogen increase the number and decrease the affinity of DHP receptors in rat cortex. Verruculogen is a potent inhibitor of high conductance Ca activated K (maxi-K) channel.
