Abstract
The inhalational anesthetic halothane reversibly inhibits the motility of sea urchin sperm dose-dependently at concentrations up to 5 mM. Experiments with Triton X-100 extracted, trypsinized axonemes showed that halothane has no effect on the rate of axonemal disintegration in the presence of ATP. These results suggest that halothane inhibits flagellar activity by acting at a site other than the dynein ATPase component of the flagellum.
