1. A putative agonist for the strychnine-sensitive glycine receptor picolinic acid was tested for its anticonvulsant activities in mice and muscle-relaxant activities in rats and compared with indole-2-carboxylic acid (I2CA), an antagonist for the strychnine-insensitive glycine receptor. Their effects on
