Abstract

The mechanisms of action of general anesthetics are still being unraveled. Retigabine is a KCNQ/Kv7 channel opener and has potential therapeutic importance for epilepsy. On the other hand, Propofol an inducing general anesthetic drug may modulate the ATP sensitive channels according to recent reports. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of the KCNQ potassium channel opener drug retigabine and DAG lipase inhibitor, RHC 80267 on propofol mediated effects on blood pressure, heart rate and hematological parameters like the RBC, WBC, hemoglobin and serum transaminase enzymes in the mice.

Key words:  Retigabine, Propofol, Potassium channel, blood pressure, creatinine
