MOst have long half-lives and active metabolites except for triazolam, oxazepam and midazolam (have higher addictive potential) Toxicity: Dependence, additive CNS depression effects with alcohol. Benzos, barbs and EtOH all bind to GABA receptor, so risk of respiratory depression and coma Antidote: flumazenil (competitive antagonist at GABA benzodiazepine receptor) |

Tertiary amine penetrate membrane in uncharged form, then bind to ion channel in charged form |
|
Local anesthetics
|
MOA: block inner part of Na+ channels, preferentially to activated channels (rapidly firing neurons).
Ep enhances action and decreases bleeding, increases anesthesia by decreasing systemic concentration Small diameter fibers myelinated > small unmyelinated > large diameter myelinated > large unmyelinated (size more important) Lose: 1) Pain 2) Temperature 3) touch 4) Pressure Use: minor surgery or spinal.

Infected tissue is acidic, so this reacts wtih anesthetics and makes them alkaline and charged. They cannot penetrate the membrane effectively so more anesthetic is needed.
