Alphaxalone

Description:

Alphaxalone, with the CAS number 23930-19-0, is a synthetic neuroactive steroid that primarily acts as a general anesthetic. It is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and propylene glycol but has limited solubility in water. Alphaxalone is known for its rapid onset and short duration of action, making it suitable for use in various medical procedures. Its mechanism of action involves modulation of the GABA_A receptor, enhancing inhibitory neurotransmission in the central nervous system. This property contributes to its anesthetic effects, including sedation and muscle relaxation. Alphaxalone is often used in veterinary medicine and has been studied for its potential applications in human anesthesia. However, its use is less common compared to other anesthetics due to concerns about side effects and the need for careful dosing. Overall, alphaxalone represents an important compound in the field of anesthesiology, particularly in specific clinical settings.
