AIM To test if puerarin (Pue) affects slow sodium current in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. METHODS Tetrodotoxin resistant (TTXr) sodium current was recorded with whole cell patch clamp technique on DRG neurons of young adult rats. RESULTS Pue 0.01-2 mmol.L-1 inhibited TTXr sodium current by 9.5%-83.2%. The inhibition was concentration-dependent and partially reversible, but was not use-dependent nor voltage-dependent. Pue did not affect the inactivation but changed the potential for half maximal conductance from -26 mV to -16 mV, suggesting the activation process was inhibited. CONCLUSION Pue moderately inhibits TTXr sodium current of rat DRG neurons.
