Background: Postoperative cognitive decline (PCD) requires microglial activation. Voltage-gated Kv1.3 potassium channels are involved in microglial activation. We determined the role of Kv1.3 in PCD and the efficacy and safety of inhibiting Kv1.3 with phenoxyalkoxypsoralen-1 (PAP-1) in preventing PCD in a mouse model.Methods: After institutional approval, we assessed whether Kv1.3-deficient mice (Kv1.3(-/-)) exhibited PCD, evidenced by tibial-fracture surgery-induced decline in aversive freezing behaviour, and whether PAP-1 could prevent PCD and postoperative neuroinflammation in PCD-vulnerable diet-induced obese (DIO) mice. We also evaluated whether PAP-1 altered either postoperative peripheral inflammation or tibial-fracture healing.Results: Freezing behaviour was unaltered in postoperative Kv1.3(-/-) mice. In DIO mice, PAP-1 prevented postoperative (i) attenuation of freezing behaviour (54 [17.3]% vs 33.4 [12.7]%; P=0.03), (ii) hippocampal microglial activation by size (130 [31] pixels vs 249 [49]; P
