Usage

General Description

1-(3-carbethoxy-5-isoxazolyl)ethanol is a compound that is also known as etomidate, which is a medication used for anesthesia induction and maintenance. It is a potent hypnotic agent that works by enhancing the activity of the neurotransmitter GABA in the brain, resulting in sedative and hypnotic effects. Etomidate is most commonly used in hospital settings for short-term anesthesia, particularly for patients who are at risk of hypotension or cardiovascular instability during surgery. It has a rapid onset of action and short duration of effect, making it a useful option for certain medical procedures. However, etomidate is also associated with potential side effects such as adrenal suppression, nausea, and vomiting, and it may not be suitable for all patients.
