General anesthetics cause mitochondrial dysfunction and reduction of intracellular ATP levels. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 General anesthetics are indispensable for effective clinical care. Although, the mechanism of action of general anesthetics remains controversial, lipid bilayers and proteins have been discussed as their targets.

Effect of Local and General Anesthetics on Interfacial Water. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Water undergoes structural change as it interfaces with hydrophilic surfaces, including the many hydrophilic surfaces within the cell. This interfacial water has become known as "Exclusion Zone (EZ) water" or "fourth-phase water" [1].We tested the ...

Effect of general anesthetics on the developing brain
Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 2012 Studies on rodents and subhuman primates suggest that prolonged exposure to general anesthetics may induce widespread neuronal cell death and neurological sequelae; seriously questioning the safety of pediatric anesthesia.

General anesthetics inhibit LPS-induced IL-1β expression in glial cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUND: Glial cells, including microglia and astrocytes, are considered the primary source of proinflammatory cytokines in the brain. Immune insults stimulate glial cells to secrete proinflammatory cytokines that modulate the acute systemic response,

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.
