Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Dyclothane is a halogenated hydrocarbon anesthetic compound historically used in inhalational anesthesia research. Its mechanism involves potentiation of GABA‑A receptors, inhibition of NMDA receptors and alteration of neuronal membrane fluidity, resulting in CNS depression and hypnosis.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in inhalational‑anesthetic mechanism modelling, GABAergic‑pathway research, membrane‑fluidity studies, and CNS depression pharmacodynamics.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include cardiac depression, respiratory suppression, arrhythmias, hepatotoxicity and malignant hyperthermia susceptibility. Handle with volatile‑anesthetic safeguards.
