Abstract
Neuroprotective actions of local anesthetics, bupivacaine and tetracaine, against the irreversible membrane dysfunction induced by in vitro ischemia were investigated. Intracellular recordings were made from hippocampal CA1 neurons in rat brain slice preparations. Oxygen and glucose deprivation (in vitro ischemia) produced a rapid depolarization after approximately 5 min of exposure. When oxygen and glucose were reintroduced, the membrane depolarized further and reached at 0 mV: the membrane showed no functional recovery (irreversible membrane dysfunction). Pretreatment with tetracaine or bupivacaine significantly prolonged the latency of rapid depolarization. Bupivacaine, but not tetracaine, restored the membrane potential after the reintroduction of oxygen and glucose. Tetracaine and bupivacaine depressed both field postsynaptic potentials and presynaptic volleys. The drugs also reduced the dV/dt of Ca(2+)-dependent spikes and the rapid rise of [Ca(2+)](i) induced by in vitro ischemia. Compared with tetracaine, bupivacaine markedly suppressed the resting K(+) conductance and the ATP-sensitive and Ca(2+)-dependent K(+) conductances. Moreover, in the presence of tetraethylammonium (TEA), a majority of CA1 neurons impaled with C...Continue Reading
