Background: Ion permeation through the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor channel is inhibited by general anesthetics. This inhibition could be mediated either by binding of anesthetic molecules to the channel protein itself or by the effects of anesthetics on the lipid environment of the protein.Methods: Patch clamp recording techniques were used to investigate the effects of ether and propofol on acetylcholine receptor channels in outside-out patches from BC3H-1 cells. The kinetic and conductance properties of single channels were measured. A rapid perfusion system was used to make rapid changes in anesthetic concentration during patch clamp recording to determine the kinetics of inhibition by anesthetics.Results: Ether, isoflurane (results from previous studies), and propofol produce distinct kinetic patterns of single acetylcholine receptor channel activity. Ether reduces the apparent current amplitude of channels, isoflurane induces flickering channel activity and propofol merely decreases the open time of the channel. The kinetics of inhibition are also different for these anesthetics. Ether (
