Molecular and cellular pharmacologyReduced efficacy of the intravenous anesthetic agent AZD3043 at GABAA receptors with β2 (N289M) and β3 (N290M) point-mutations
چکیده انگلیسی

AZD3043 (previously named THRX-918661) is a novel short-acting intravenous anesthetic agent in clinical trials. Although AZD3043 is a positive modulator at the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)A-receptor, its potency and efficacy have not been characterized in detail. Nor is it known whether the point-mutations in the β-subunit of the GABAA-receptor that dramatically reduce the anesthetic effect of propofol (i.e. β2 (N289M) and β3 (N290M)), also influence the effect of AZD3043. This study investigated the in vitro pharmacology of AZD3043 at the most common human GABAA receptor subtypes. Subunits of four human wild-type (α1β2, α1β2γ2, α2β2γ2 and α2β3γ2) and two mutant (α1β2(N289M)γ2 and α2β3(N290M)γ2) GABAA receptor channels were introduced into Xenopus oocytes and studied with two-electrode voltage-clamp. AZD3043 potentiated and directly activated the α1β2γ2, α2β2γ2 and α2β3γ2 GABAA receptor subtypes. Moreover, both potency and efficacy of AZD3043 were reduced at the mutant α1β2(N289M)γ2 and α2β3(N290M)γ2 subtypes. AZD3043 increased the GABA response also in GABAA receptors lacking the γ2-subunit, i.e. α1β2. In conclusion, AZD3043 is a positive modulator and a direct agonist at human GABAA receptors and is not dependent on the γ2-subunit for its effect. Similar to propofol, the effect of AZD3043 is dramatically reduced by point-mutations in the β2(N289M) and β3(N290M) subunits, indicating similar molecular mechanisms of action for propofol and AZD3043 at the human GABAA receptor.
