Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The uptake of thiopental (CAS 76-75-5) (0.13-0.27 mmol.l-1) into tissue of rat hearts (Langendorff's preparation) was studied in the presence of halothane (CAS 151-67-7). Up to a thiopental concentration of 0.19 mmol.l-1 in the perfusion medium its concentration in heart tissue was significantly increased vs. control when halothane (0.8 vol%) simultaneously was present; using 0.13 mmol.l-1 thiopental and 0.8, 1.5 or 2.0 vol% halothane this increase amounted +12%, +29% and +43%, respectively. Frequency of spontaneously beating rat hearts decreased in the presence of increasing thiopental concentrations. 0.8 vol% halothane (without thiopental) did not influence heart rate; in the presence of thiopental it attenuated heart rate reduction. This attenuation was absent in hearts of rats pretreated with reserpine. 1.5 vol% halothane (itself also without influence on heart rate) increased the negative chronotropic action of thiopental. In isolated right and left atria of rat hearts frequency and contractility decreased concentration-dependently in the presence of thiopental; simultaneously present halothane additionally increased this negative chronotropic and negative inotropic effect of thiopental.
