In continuation of our published review on general inhalational anesthetics, the current article presents a survey of intravenous agents for general anaesthesia. From chemical point of view these compounds belong to structurally diverse categories, such as barbiturates - thiopental (Sodium pentothal®, Trapanal®, Pentothal®), methohexital (Brevital®), and hexobarbital (Evipan®, Hexenal®, Citopan®, Tobinal®); non-barbiturate derivatives - ketamine (Ketalar® Ketaset®), esketamine (Ketanest®), and etomidate (Amidate®, Hypnomidate®), phenolic derivatives - propofol (Diprivan®); steroid derivatives - mixture of alfadolone and alfaxalone (Althesin® in human and Saffan® in veterinary anesthesia); and derivatives of phenylacetic acid - propanidid (Epontol®, Sombrevin®). Most of these compounds are chiral, with the exception of propofol and propanidid.

In this work, a series of novel heterocyclic 2-phenylacetate derivatives were designed and synthesized as water-soluble and rapid recovery hypnotic agents. After introducing heterocyclic ring to the amide group of propanidid, the obtained propanidid derivatives showed greatly improved hydrophilicity and good anesthetic activity. In three animal experiments (mice, rats, and rabbits), compounds 13-15 showed potent hypnotic potency (HD = 7.

In this paper, we designed and synthesized a series of novel phenylpiperazine-phenylacetate derivatives as rapid recovery hypnotic agents. The best compound 10 had relatively high affinity for the GABA receptor and low affinity for thirteen other off-target receptors. In three animal models (mice, rats, and rabbits), compound 10 exerted potent hypnotic effects (HD = 5.

Background: Propanidid is a γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor agonist general anesthetic and its primary metabolite is 4-(2-[diethylamino]-2-oxoethoxy)-3-methoxy-benzeneacetic acid (DOMBA). Despite having a high water solubility at physiologic pH that might predict low-affinity GABAA receptor interactions, DOMBA is reported to have no effect on GABAA receptor currents, possibly because the DOMBA concentrations studied were simply insufficient to modulate GABAA receptors. Our objectives were to measure the propanidid and DOMBA concentration responses on -GABAA receptors and to measure the behavioral responses of DOMBA in mice at concentrations that affect GABAA receptor currents in vitro.
