Effects of Remimazolam and Propofol on Ca2+ Regulation by Ryanodine Receptor 1 with Malignant Hyperthermia Mutation

Table 4

Median effective concentration (EC50) values of caffeine in wild-type or mutant ryanodine receptor 1- (RYR1-) transfected cells perfused with remimazolam or propofol. EC50 values for caffeine in wild-type and all mutant RYR1-transfected cells were not significantly different with or without remimazolam (546 μM) and propofol (100 μM) perfusion.
