Trade name: ultane

Small moleculeapproved

Approved

Jun 7, 1995

Sevoflurane is a general anesthetic that is FDA approved for the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia in adult and pediatric patients for inpatient and outpatient surgery. Sevoflurane induces a reduction in junctional conductance by decreasing gap junction channel opening times and increasing gap junction channel closing times. Sevoflurane also activates calcium dependent ATPase in the sarcoplasmic reticulum by increasing the fluidity of the lipid membrane. It also appears to bind the D subunit of ATP synthase and NADH dehydogenase and also binds to the GABA receptor. Common adverse reactions include cardiovascular: bradyarrhythmia, hypotension, gastrointestinal: nausea, vomiting, neurologic: somnolence, psychiatric: agitation, respiratory: cough, interrupted breathing and other: shivering. — NCATS
