摘要
BACKGROUND: Carboetomidate is an etomidate derivative that produces hypnosis without inhibiting adrenal corticosteroid synthesis. Similar to etomidate, carboetomidate modulates gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptors, but its effects on other ion channel targets of general anesthetics are unknown. METHODS: We compared etomidate and carboetomidate effects on human N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors or neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nnAChRs) expressed in Xenopus oocytes, using 2-microelectrode voltage clamp electrophysiology. RESULTS: Etomidate did not affect either type of receptor at clinically relevant concentrations, whereas carboetomidate concentrations near 50% effective concentration for anesthesia significantly inhibited nnAChRs. CONCLUSIONS: Compared with etomidate, carboetomidate's higher hydrophobicity is associated with greater inhibition of nnAChRs. (Anesth Analg 2012;115:70-2)
