Intravenous anesthetic agents are associated with cardiovascular instability and poorly tolerated in patients with cardiovascular disease, trauma, or acute systemic illness. We hypothesized that a new class of intravenous (IV) anesthetic molecules that is highly selective for the slow type of γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptor (GABA<sub>A</sub>R) could have potent anesthetic efficacy with limited cardiovascular effects. Through in silico screening using our GABA<sub>A</sub>R model, we identifie ...[more]
