Comparison of Changes in Activation and Inactivation (as the shift in V1/2) Produced by Ethanol (C2), Octanol (C8) And Isoflurane for Results From the Present Study and Previous Publications *

Activation
C2 C8 Isoflurane
mV

Nav1.2 +2.7 (190 mM) +3.3 (0.057 mM) +0.3 (0.6 mM)
Nav1.8 +1.8 (190 mM) +0.9 (0.057 mM) −0.7 (0.6 mM)
DRG (TTX-S) +0.23 (200 mM)
DRG (TTX-R) +0.35 (200 mM)
Inactivation
C2 C8 Isoflurane

mV

Nav1.2 −1.0 (190 mM) −3.4 (0.057 mM) −8.9 (0.6 mM)
Nav1.8 −2.1 (190 mM) −1.7 (0.057 mM) −0.8 (0.6 mM)
DRG (TTX-S) −2.3 (200 mM)
DRG (TTX-R) −2.1 (200 mM)

Effects of isoflurane on Nav1.2 and Nav1.8 are from Shiraishi and Harris (2004), and the effects of ethanol on TTX-S and TTX-R (DRG) are from Wu and Kendig (1998). Values in parentheses represent the concentrations of alcohols or isoflurane used in the studies. Holding potentials for activation curves were −90 mV in Nav1.2 and Nav1.8, and −80 mV in DRG neurons.
