AimsAldehyde reductase (AKR1A), a member of the aldo-keto reductase superfamily, is highly expressed in the liver and is involved in both the detoxification of carbonyl compounds and ascorbic acid biosynthesis. By comparison with wild-type mice,Akr1a-knockout (Akr1a−/−) mice and humanAkrla-transgenic (Akr1atg/+) mice experience different anesthetic actions from pentobarbital—prolonged inAkr1a-knockout (Akr1a−/−) mice and shortened in humanAkrla-transgenic (Akr1atg/+) mice.Main methodsWe investigated this alteration in the anesthetic efficacy of pentobarbital inAkr1agenetically modified mice.Key findingsNeither the cytosolic protein of wild-type mouse liver nor purified rat AKR1A directly reduced pentobarbital. Ascorbic acid administration neutralized the prolonged duration of the loss of the righting reflex (LORR) inAkr1a−/−mice, but preincubation of pentobarbital with ascorbic acid prior to administration did not change the anesthetic effect. Those results indicated that ascorbic acid does not directly reduce pentobarbital. Enzymatic activities and levels of the proteins of some cytochrome P450s that make up a potent detoxification system for pentobarbital showed no changes in the genetically modified mice examined. Thus, ascorbic acid also had no effect on the detoxification system in the liver. The prolonged duration of LORR in theAkr1a−/−mice caused by pentobarbital and the neutralization of the anesthetic effect by ascorbic acid together with other results imply that ascorbic acid alters the responses of the neuronal system to anesthetics.SignificancePentobarbital action is increased under conditions of ascorbic acid deficiency, and this may have to be taken into account when anesthetizing malnourished patients.
