英文摘要
The long-term objective of this research project is to develop – for the first time – competitive
antagonists (i.e. reversal agents) for general anesthetics. This would allow clinicians to reverse anesthesia on
demand and assist scientists advance their research programs. Currently, a critical obstacle to developing
such antagonists for anesthetics that act via the GABAA receptor is that there are no strategies for designing
competitive ligands that can bind to the receptor’s anesthetic binding sites without enhancing the receptor’s
function and thus producing anesthesia. The specific goal of this research proposal is to overcome that
obstacle by discovering the fundamental principles and establishing the drug design strategies that are
necessary to develop anesthetic competitive antagonists for clinical and research use.
We have discovered that by modifying a key region of its molecular structure, the highly efficacious
anesthetic etomidate can be transformed into an anesthetic-selective competitive antagonist at the GABAA
receptor that accelerates in vivo anesthetic recovery. This discovery provides important clues regarding the
changes that occur in the GABAA receptor’s anesthetic binding sites as it isomerizes from closed to open, and
suggests a novel strategy for designing anesthetic reversal agents using existing anesthetics as molecular
templates. Aim 1 is to better understand why such modifications dramatically reduce etomidate’s binding
selectivity for the open state of the GABAA receptor, almost completely abolish its intrinsic efficacy for receptor
activation, and transform it into an anesthetic-specific competitive antagonist at the receptor. It will also test
whether analogues containing this modification antagonize the receptor actions of other anesthetics besides
propofol and etomidate. Aim 2 is to quantify the binding selectivity of these etomidate analogues for the two
different classes of anesthetic binding sites located between different receptor subunits using photoaffinity
labeling techniques. Aim 3 is to define the behavioral actions of these analogues in rats and test whether one
with very low efficacy can accelerate recovery from hypnosis produced by different anesthetics.
Currently, recovery from an anesthetic's actions must occur as a passive process whose time course
is dictated by the rate of anesthetic drug clearance rather than the actual clinical need. The availability of
general anesthetic competitive antagonists would have an enormous impact on patient care by allowing
anesthetic emergence to be actively managed and precisely controlled. It would improve patient safety and
challenge current practice models of anesthesia care by allowing potentially deadly side effects such as
respiratory depression to be reversed immediately and on-demand. It would also advance scientific
research by helping investigators to locate novel sites of anesthetic action, test for the possible existence of
endogenous ligands for anesthetic binding sites, rationally design new exogenous ligands for these sites,
and define the role that particular targets play in producing various in vitro and in vivo anesthetic actions.
