The Effects of General Anesthetics on Synaptic Transmission
Current Neuropharmacology, 2020 General anesthetics are a class of drugs that target the central nervous system and are widely used for various medical procedures. General anesthetics produce many behavioral changes required for clinical intervention, including amnesia, hypnosis ...

Mechanisms of action of general anesthetics.
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2014 Since William Morton successfully demonstrated the use of inhaled ether for surgical anesthesia in 1846, the development of new anesthetics and safe general anesthesia techniques have contributed greatly to the advancement of surgery and other invasive ...

Effects of General Anesthetics on Synaptic Transmission and Plasticity
Current Neuropharmacology, 2021 General anesthetics depress excitatory and/or enhance inhibitory synaptic transmission principally by modulating the function of glutamatergic or GABAergic synapses, respectively, with relative anesthetic agent-specific mechanisms.

Cardiac output and the pharmacology of general anesthetics: a narrative review
Colombian Journal of Anesthesiology, 2023 The relationship between cardiac output and anesthetic drugs is important to anesthesiologists, since cardiac output determines the speed with which a drug infused into the bloodstream reaches its target and the intensity of the drug’s effect.

Are Local Anesthetics and General Anesthetics Different? [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2014 It is widely believed that general and local anesthetics act by different mechanisms. While there is general agreement that the mode of action of general anesthetics is poorly understood, local anesthetics are believed to block voltage-gated sodium channels and thereby affect action potentials in nerves.

Shared structural mechanisms of general anesthetics and benzodiazepines
Nature, 2020 Most general anaesthetics and classical benzodiazepine drugs act through positive modulation of γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA A ) receptors to dampen neuronal activity in the brain 1 – 5 .

Structural interplay of anesthetics and paralytics on muscle nicotinic receptors
Nature Communications, 2023 General anesthetics and neuromuscular blockers are used together during surgery to stabilize patients in an unconscious state. Anesthetics act mainly by potentiating inhibitory ion channels and inhibiting excitatory ion channels, with the net effect of ...
