(+)Etomidate and pentobarbital enhance [3H]diazepam and [3H]gamma-aminobutyric acid [( 3H]GABA) binding to cerebral cortex membranes. Both (+)etomidate and pentobarbital increase the affinity of [3H]diazepam for its binding sites. In contrast, they increase the Bmax of both the high- and low-affinity GABA receptor sites. The enhancement of [3H]diazepam and [3H]GABA by (+)etomidate and pentobarbital is blocked by GABA antagonists. These results indicate that hypnotic drugs such as (+)etomidate and pentobarbital, which are not structurally related, modulate diazepam and GABA binding sites via similar mechanisms.
依托咪酯(+)和戊巴比妥可增强[³H]地西泮和[³H]γ-氨基丁酸([³H]GABA)与大脑皮层膜的结合。依托咪酯(+)和戊巴比妥均增加[³H]地西泮与其结合位点的亲和力。相比之下,它们增加了高亲和力和低亲和力GABA受体位点的最大结合容量(Bmax)。依托咪酯(+)和戊巴比妥对[³H]地西泮和[³H]GABA的增强作用被GABA拮抗剂阻断。这些结果表明,结构上不相关的催眠药物,如依托咪酯(+)和戊巴比妥,通过相似的机制调节地西泮和GABA结合位点。
