The thermodynamics of general and local anesthesia [PDF]

Biophys. J. 2014, 106: 2143-2156, 2014
General anesthetics are known to cause depression of the freezing point of transitions in biomembranes. This is a consequence of ideal mixing of the anesthetic drugs in the membrane fluid phase and exclusion from the solid phase.

General Anesthetics: Aspects of Chirality, Pharmacodynamics, and Pharmacokinetics [PDF]

Pharmaceuticals
The introduction of general anesthetics in the mid-19th century is considered one of the greatest contributions to medical practice. It was the first time that complicated surgical interventions became feasible, without putting an excessive strain on the

The thermodynamics of general anesthesia [PDF]

Biophys. J. 92 (2007) 3159-3165, 2006
It is known that the action of general anesthetics is proportional to their partition coefficient in lipid membranes (Meyer-Overton rule). This solubility is, however, directly related to the depression of the temperature of the melting transition found ...

The influence of anesthetics, neurotransmitters and antibiotics on the relaxation processes in lipid membranes [PDF]

J. Phys. Chem. B 111 (2007) 13858-13866, 2007
In the proximity of melting transitions of artificial and biological membranes fluctuations in enthalpy, area, volume and concentration are enhanced. This results in domain formation, changes of the elastic constants, changes in permeability and slowing ...

Characterization of Large Scale Functional Brain Networks During Ketamine-Medetomidine Anesthetic Induction [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
Several experiments evidence that specialized brain regions functionally interact and reveal that the brain processes and integrates information in a specific and structured manner. Networks can be used to model brain functional activities constituting a

Involvement of the parabrachial nucleus in emergence from general anesthesia [PDF]

Frontiers in Neuroscience
The parabrachial nucleus (PBN), located in the dorsolateral pons, is involved in many important biological functions, such as sensory signaling, feeding, defensive behaviors, fear, anxiety, and sleep–wake cycles.

Proteomic Learning of Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) Receptor-Mediated Anesthesia. [PDF]

J Chem Inf Model
Anesthetics are crucial in surgical procedures and therapeutic interventions, but they come with side effects and varying levels of effectiveness, calling for novel anesthetic agents that offer more precise and controllable effects. Targeting Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors, the primary inhibitory receptors in the central nervous system, could
