Methods for using exogenous fluorophore and general anesthetic 1-aminoanthracene (1-AMA) and its photoactive derivative 1-azidoanthracene (1-AZA) are provided. 1-AMA potentiates GABA chloride currents and immobilizes Xenopus laevis tadpoles. Cellular and tissue anesthetic distribution can be imaged for quantifying "on-pathway" and "off-pathway" targets. 1-AZA shares targets with 1-AMA and offers further optoanesthetic spatial and temporal control upon near-UV laser irradiation. Furthermore, 1-AZA adduction provides screening of possible relevant anesthetic protein targets and binding site characterization. We highlight several useful imaging and binding assays to demonstrate utility of 1-AMA and its derivative 1-AZA.
提供了使用外源性荧光团以及全身麻醉剂1-氨基蒽(1-AMA)及其光活性衍生物1-叠氮基蒽(1-AZA)的方法。1-AMA可增强γ-氨基丁酸氯离子电流并使非洲爪蟾蝌蚪固定不动。细胞和组织中的麻醉剂分布可以成像,以量化“通路内”和“通路外”靶点。1-AZA与1-AMA具有共同靶点,并在近紫外激光照射时提供进一步的光麻醉空间和时间控制。此外,1-AZA加合物可用于筛选可能相关的麻醉蛋白靶点并表征结合位点。我们重点介绍了几种有用的成像和结合测定方法,以证明1-AMA及其衍生物1-AZA的实用性。
