Similar mechanism of action?

[edit]

„ It is a convulsant, producing symptoms similar to picrotoxin, with which it shares a similar mechanism of action. (Dioscorine is not to be confused with dioscorin, the yam storage protein.)“

Picrotoxin is a GABA-A-antagonist, Dioscorine a nAChR-antagonist, how is that a similar mechanism of action? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amml501 (talkcontribs) 14:47, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
