"We found a good correlation between effects of two other anesthetic drugs on HCN1 subunits and their hypnotic actions in HCN1 knockout mice; etomidate had no effect on HCN1 channels and its ability to evoke a LORR was unaltered in HCN1 knockout mice whereas propofol selectively inhibits HCN1 subunits and we found a significant decrease in sensitivity of HCN1 knockout mice to hypnotic effects of propofol."

"This step assures that eventually incoming noise is deselected, and provides an accurate report of the actual tail currents.Cell attached recordings were made with a seal of 30 MΩ to 2 GΩ and lasted for a minimum of 90 s up to 150 s. For recordings measuring intrinsic PC activity without HCN1 current we added HCN1 blocker propofol (100 µM, European Pharmacopoeia Reference Standard, Sigma-Aldrich, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) and selective GABA receptor antagonist CGP52432 (50 µM, Sigma-Aldrich) to block the agonistic effects of propofol on GABA receptors [71]."

"Propofol analogs, such as the alkylphenol 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol, impede the gating of HCN1 channels without affecting either γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA ) or glycine receptors; they are also antihyperalgesic in animal models of neuropathic pain (17), indicating a role for HCN channel inhibition in the analgesic effect of propofol."

"Last, site-directed mutagenesis of the residues in the binding pocket identified using MD and PAL, coupled with functional measurements, shows that single amino acid substitutions can abrogate the shifts in voltage dependence even at concentrations as high as 100 μM. Collectively, these data indicate that propofol inhibition of HCN1 activation is mediated by a specific binding site in the VSD.While unexpected, it is not without precedent that AziPm labels a residue (Y234) that is one to two helical turns away from the binding pocket predicted by flooding simulations."

"Chen and colleagues argue that the case for HCN1 is stronger than the case for NMDA receptors, because the HCN1 knockout has no effect on etomidate sensitivity (but does decrease sensitivity to propofol, which inhibits HCN1), whereas global knockout of the NMDA receptor epsilon1 subunit moderately reduces ketamine sensitivity, but also reduces sensitivity to pentobarbital, propofol, and benzodiazepines, all thought to act primarily via GABA A receptors."

"We found a good correlation between effects of two other anesthetic drugs on HCN1 subunits and their hypnotic actions in HCN1 knockout mice; etomidate had no effect on HCN1 channels and its ability to evoke a LORR was unaltered in HCN1 knockout mice whereas propofol selectively inhibits HCN1 subunits ( xref ; xref ; xref ) and we found a significant decrease in sensitivity of HCN1 knockout mice to hypnotic effects of propofol."

"In addition, hypnotic sensitivity to two other intravenous anesthetics in HCN1 knockout mice matched effects on HCN1 channels; propofol selectively inhibited HCN1 channels and propofol sensitivity was diminished in HCN1 knockout mice whereas etomidate had no effect on HCN1 channels and hypnotic sensitivity to etomidate was unaffected by HCN1 gene deletion."
