Propofol is nonselective for gamma amino butyric acid type A receptor subtypes (GABA\n                      <jats:sub>A<\/jats:sub>\n                      R) as it enhances all 3 GABA\n                      <jats:sub>A<\/jats:sub>\n                      R subtypes (slow, fast, and tonic). Our newly developed anesthetic class selectively targets GABA\n                      <jats:sub>A<\/jats:sub>\n                      R-slow synapses to depress brain responsiveness. We hypothesized that a selective GABA\n                      <jats:sub>A<\/jats:sub>\n                      R-slow agonist, KSEB 01-S2, would produce a different EEG signature compared to the broad-spectrum GABA\n                      <jats:sub>A<\/jats:sub>\n                      R agonist (propofol), and tested this using rat EEG recordings.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Male rats were studied after Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees (IACUC) approval from the US Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense and the University of Michigan. Rats were anesthetized using isoflurane (3%\u20135% induction, 1%\u20133% maintenance) with oxygen at 0.5 to 1.0 L\/min. Stainless steel screws were placed in the skull and used to record subcranial cortical EEG signals. After recovery, either propofol or KSEB 01-S2 was administered and effects on EEG signals were analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      As previously reported, propofol produced increased power in delta frequencies (0.1\u20134 Hz) compared to predrug recordings and produced a decrease in EEG power &gt;30 Hz but no significant changes were seen within \u00b120 seconds of losing the righting reflex. By contrast, KSEB 01-S2 produced a significant increase in theta frequency percent power (median 14.7%, 16.2\/13.8, 75\/25 confidence interval; to 34.7%, 35\/31.8;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; .015) and a significant decrease in low gamma frequency percent power (16.9%, 18.6\/15.8; to 5.45%, 5.5\/5.39;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; .015) for all rats at \u00b1 20 seconds of loss of consciousness (LOC). Both anesthetics produced a flattening of chaotic attractor plots from nonlinear dynamic analyses, like that produced by volatile and dissociative anesthetics at LOC.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      KSEB 01-S2 produced a markedly different EEG pattern, with a selective increase observed in the theta frequency range. KSEB 01-S2 also differs markedly in its activity at the GABA\n                      <jats:sub>A<\/jats:sub>\n                      R-slow receptor subtype, suggesting a possible mechanistic link between receptor subtype specificity and EEG frequency band signatures. Increased theta together with depressed gamma frequencies is interesting because GABA\n                      <jats:sub>A<\/jats:sub>\n                      R slow synapses have previously been suggested to underlie theta frequency oscillations, while fast synapses control gamma activity. These reciprocal effects support a previous model for theta and nested gamma oscillations based on inhibitory connections between GABA\n                      <jats:sub>A<\/jats:sub>\n                      R fast and slow interneurons. Although each anesthetic produced a unique EEG response, propofol and KSEB 01-S2 both increased slow wave activity and flattened chaotic attractor plots at the point of LOC.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1213\/ane.0000000000007178","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,4]],"date-time":"2024-10-04T13:05:24Z","timestamp":1728047124000},"page":"412-421","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Comparative Electroencephalographic Profile of a New Anesthetic and Anticonvulsant That Is Selective for the GABAAR Slow Receptor Subtype"],"prefix":"10.1213","volume":"141","author":[{"given":"M.
