Methods： Current-voltage of P2X7 receptors on human mast cell membrane activated by ATP was recorded by the whole-cell patch clamp technique. Results： The current at -100 mV mediated by P2X7 was inhibited by （27.6 ± 2.0） % in the presence of 40 μg/mL SCP01 and by （29.5 ± 2.2） % in the presence of 40 μg/mL SCP02, which was identified as α-asarone. 42 μg/mL of the commercially available α-asarone inhibited the P2X7-mediated current by （52.2 ± 2.0） %. In contrast to SCP01 and SCP02, 40 μg/mL X0728 provoked stimulation of the current by （28.6 ± 2.8） %. All effects were voltage- independent. Conclusion： The inhibition of P2X7 by α-asarone will inhibit intracellular calcium increase and this may account for the inhibition of reported excitotoxic cell death. The pharmacological function of P2X7 stimulation by X0728 needs further investigation.展开更多
