This study presents a protocol to visualize deuterated propofol in living rat neurons using stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy, which is important for clinical applications.
Propofol is a widely used anesthetic important in clinics, but like many other bioactive molecules, it is too small to be tagged and visualized by fluorescent dyes. Here, we present a protocol to visualize deuterated propofol in living rat neurons using stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy with carbon -deute-rium bonds serving as a Raman tag. We describe the preparation and culture of rat neurons, followed by optimization of the SRS system. We then detail neuron loading and real-time imaging of anesthesia dynamics. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Oda et al.1
