Flumazenil is a specific benzodiazepine agonist, which is reported to have a partial benzodiazepine agonist-like effect at a high dose. This study investigated the effects of flumazenil and midazolam on the hypnotic dose of propofol and thiopental in ddY mice, using a behavioral model.
Mice were given either propofol or thiopental intravenously to induce hypnosis, which was defined as a loss of the righting reflex. The mice were pre-treated with flumazenil (0.05, 0.1, or 0.2 mg kg(-1)) or midazolam (0.1 or 0.2 mg kg(-1)), and given propofol or thiopental after a 30-s delay.
Pre-treatment with flumazenil (0.1 or 0.2 mg kg(-1)) significantly decreased the hypnotic dose of propofol compared to the control group (9.3+/-0.39 [8.5-10.0] or 9.0+/-0.28 [8.5-9.6] vs. 10.8+/-0.42 [9.9-11.6] mg kg(-1) (ED50+/-SEM and [95% confidence interval]) P<0.05), but not that of thiopental (9.1+/-0.30 [8.5-9.7] with 0.2 mg kg(-1) flumazenil vs. 9.3+/-0.42 [8.4-10.1] mg kg(-1) with saline). Midazolam reduced the hypnotic dose of both propofol and thiopental. Flumazenil antagonized the potentiating effect of midazolam (0.2 mg kg(-1)) on the hypnotic activity of propofol.
These results suggest that the hypnotic activity of propofol is potentiated by the partial agonist activity of flumazenil in ddY mice.
氟马西尼是一种特异性苯二氮䓬类激动剂,据报道在高剂量时具有部分苯二氮䓬类激动剂样效应。本研究使用行为学模型,探讨了氟马西尼和咪达唑仑对ddY小鼠丙泊酚和硫喷妥钠催眠剂量的影响。
给小鼠静脉注射丙泊酚或硫喷妥钠以诱导催眠,催眠定义为翻正反射消失。小鼠预先接受氟马西尼(0.05、0.1或0.2mg kg⁻¹)或咪达唑仑(0.1或0.2mg kg⁻¹)预处理,30秒后给予丙泊酚或硫喷妥钠。
与对照组相比,氟马西尼(0.1或0.2mg kg⁻¹)预处理显著降低了丙泊酚的催眠剂量(9.3±0.39 [8.5 - 10.0]或9.0±0.28 [8.5 - 9.6] vs. 10.8±0.42 [9.9 - 11.6]mg kg⁻¹(半数有效剂量±标准误和[95%置信区间]),P<0.05),但对硫喷妥钠的催眠剂量无影响(0.2mg kg⁻¹氟马西尼时为9.1±0.30 [8.5 - 9.7] vs. 生理盐水时为9.3±0.42 [8.4 - 10.1]mg kg⁻¹)。咪达唑仑降低了丙泊酚和硫喷妥钠的催眠剂量。氟马西尼拮抗了咪达唑仑(0.2mg kg⁻¹)对丙泊酚催眠活性的增强作用。
这些结果表明,在ddY小鼠中,氟马西尼的部分激动剂活性增强了丙泊酚的催眠活性。
