( -)-; ( -)-5-Allyl-1-methyl-5-(1-methyl-2-pentynyl)barbituric Acid;
NCIt definition : A rapid, short-acting barbituric acid derivative, with anesthetic activity. Methohexital
binds to the chloride ionophore site of the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-A/chloride
ionophore receptor complex, thereby enhancing the inhibitory actions of GABA-A in
the brain. This leads to synaptic inhibition, decreased neuronal excitability, and
induction of anesthesia. In addition, this agent decreases glutamate (Glu) responses.;
