BACKGROUND: Cyclopropyl-methoxycarbonyl metomidate (CPMM) is a "soft" etomidate analogue currently being developed as a propofol alternative for anesthetic induction and maintenance.
METHODS: We compared the potencies of CPMM and propofol by assessing their abilities to directly activate α1(L264T)β3γ2 gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptors and induce loss of righting reflexes in tadpoles. We also measured the rates of encephalographic recovery in rats after CPMM and propofol infusions ranging in duration from 5 to 120 minutes.
RESULTS: CPMM and propofol activate GABAA receptors and induce loss of righting reflexes in tadpoles with respective 50% effective concentrations (EC50s) of 3.8 ± 0.4 and 3.9 ± 0.2 μM (GABAA receptor) and 2.6 ± 0.19 and 1.3 ± 0.04 μM (tadpole). Encephalographic recovery after prolonged infusion was faster with CPMM and lacked propofol's context sensitivity.
CONCLUSION: CPMM and propofol have similar potencies in GABAA receptors and tadpoles; however, CPMM provides more rapid and predictable recovery than propofol, particularly after prolonged infusion.
