The targets which mediate the actions of the volatile general anaesthetic isoflurane are unknown. Based on pharmacological studies using GABA(A) receptor antagonists it has recently been suggested that GABA(A) receptors would not mediate the immobilizing action of isoflurane. Using the beta 3(N265M) knock-in mouse model we found that the mutant mice were less sensitive to the immobilizing action of isoflurane, indicating a role of beta 3-containing GABA(A) receptors in mediating immobility. At high concentrations isoflurane also immobilizes beta 3(N265M) mice, indicating that other targets also mediate immobility. Thus, our findings support a multisite model for the immobilizing action of isoflurane. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
