Background This study examined the effects of thiopental on intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) changes induced by membrane depolarization, N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate (NMDA) receptor activation, and ischemia. Methods Experiments were performed in brain slices prepared from Wistar rats. [Ca2+]i measurements were taken on the CA1 pyramidal cell layer of the hippocampus or layers II to III of the somatosensory cortex using the fura‐2 fluorescence technique. Membrane depolarization and NMDA receptor activation were induced by exposing slices to 60 mM K+ and 100 [micro sign]M NMDA, respectively. In vitro ischemia was induced by superfusing slices with glucose‐free Krebs solution equilibrated with 95% nitrogen and 5% carbon dioxide. Thiopental was applied 5 min before application of high K+ and NMDA, or before in vitro ischemia. Results Ischemia for 15 min produced a characteristic [Ca2+]i increase in both hippocampal and cortical slices. Thiopental prolonged the latency to the appearance of the [Ca2+]i plateau and reduced the magnitudes of increase in [Ca2+]i 8, 10, and 15 min after the onset of ischemia. Thiopental also suppressed the high K+‐and NMDA‐induced [Ca (2+)]i increases. The NMDA‐induced [Ca2+]i increases were attenuated to a greater extent in cortical slices than were those in hippocampal slices. The inhibition of thiopental on the 200‐[micro sign]M NMDA‐mediated [Ca2+]i response was confirmed in cultured cortical neurons. Conclusions The results indicate that thiopental attenuates ischemia‐induced [Ca2+]i increases in the hippocampus and cortex in vitro, probably because of its inhibition of both voltage‐gated calcium channels and NMDA receptors. The regionally different inhibition of thiopental on NMDA receptors may relate to its region‐specific action against ischemia.
