use: insomnia

tox: ataxia, HA, confusion

*rapid metab by liver, so short duration
Anesthetics
CNS drugs must be lipid soluble to cross BBB or be actively transported

Decreased solubility in blood: rapid induction and recovery time

Increased solubility in lipid = increased potency = 1/MAC

MAC: min alveolar concentration at which 50% pop is anesthetized, varies with age

N2O: low blood and lipid solubility, fast induction and low potency
Halothane: high lipid and blood solubility, high potency, slow induction

Mechanism:
lungs: increase rate and depth of ventilation --> increased gas tension

Blood:
increased blood solubility = increase blood/gas partition coeff = increase solubility = increase gas required to saturate blood = SLOWER onset of action

Tissue:
increase AV concentration gradient = increase solubility = increase gas required to saturate tissue = slower onset
Inhaled anesthetics
-ane
+ nitrous oxide

effect: myocardial depression, resp depression, nausea/emesis, increase cerebral blood flow (decrease cerebral metabolic demand)

tox:
Halothane: hepatotox
methoxyflurane: nephrotox
Enflurane: seizures
N2O: expansion of trapped gas

tertiary amines penetrate membrane in uncharged form, then bind ion channels as charged form

1. infected (acidic) tissue, alkaline anesthetics are charged and cannot penetrate membrane effectively (more needed)
2. Orer of nerve blockade:
small myelinated > small unmyelinated > large myelinated > large unmyelinated
