ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of ketamine on the high-voltage-activated calcium currents (ICa(HVA)) in rat hippocampal neurons.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Neurons were cultured from Wistar rat hippocampus. ICa(HVA) was recorded using whole-cell patch clamp technique. After application with ketamine at different concentrations (10, 30, 100, 300, and 1000 μmol/L), the effect of ketamine on ICa(HVA) was evaluated.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>ICa(HVA) was inhibited by ketamine in a concentration-dependent manner. Ketamine at 10 μmol/L showed no effect on ICa(HVA). Four concentrations of ketamine (30, 100, 300,and 1000 μmol/L) reduced the peak ICa(HVA) currents by (17.5 ∓ 4.5)%, (25.5 ∓ 6.9)%, (38.5 ∓ 4.1)%, and (42.3 ∓ 4.6)% respectively,with a mean half maximal inhibitory concentration of 68.2 μmol/L and Hill coefficient of 0.47. The maximal activation membrane potential was shifted to (5.3 ∓ 0.8) from (5.4 ∓ 0.9). The half maximal activation membrane potential of inactivation curve was shifted from(-26.7 ∓ 3.9) mV to(-32.8 ∓ 4.2) mV.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Ketamine can remarkably inhibit calcium currents in the central neurons,which may explain at least partly the action of ketamine on central nervous system.</p>
