It is unclear whether these beneficial effects of volatile anesthetics are mediated by the ether basic structure or by characteristics of their halogenations. We describe in an in vitro model of acute inflammation in pulmonary cells that halogenation (fluorinated carbon groups) is responsible for the immunomodulatory effects. The inflammatory response after coexposure to endotoxin and sevoflurane, diethyl-ether, or various water-soluble molecules carrying trifluorinated carbon (CF3) groups was evaluated in pulmonary epithelial and endothelial cells and in neutrophils. In epithelial and endothelial cells, expression of inflammatory mediators to LPS stimulation was dose-dependently decreased upon exposure to sevoflurane and other molecules with CF3 groups. This was not observed for diethyl-ether or structure-similar nonfluorinated molecules. In neutrophils, chemotactic activity, as well as expression of surface CD11b and CD62L, was positively modified by molecules carrying CF3 groups. Cytotoxicity could be excluded. These findings for the first time reveal in an in vitro model of acute inflammation that the immunomodulatory effects are not limited to volatile anesthetics but are associated with a much broader class of CF3 group\u2013containing molecules. The immunomodulatory effects could now be provided in a hydrophilic, injectable formulation for the treatment of patients suffering from acute organ injury, such as acute lung injury, in environments not suitable for volatile anesthetics.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1165\/rcmb.2010-0451oc","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,1,14]],"date-time":"2011-01-14T22:02:17Z","timestamp":1295042537000},"page":"617-624","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Fluorinated
