Physical chemistry applied to anaesthetic action.

The "dose" of inhalational anaesthetics is commonly expressed in terms of volume per cent (vol/vol) of the agent in an inspired or end-tidal gas sample. However, the "dose" should be expressed more correctly as a partial pressure which can be calculated as the fractional concentration multiplied by the total pressure of the system (e.g. the partial pressure of oxygen in air=0.21x760 = 160 mm Hg...

Zonisamide: chemistry, mechanism of action, and pharmacokinetics

Zonisamide is a synthetic 1,2-benzisoxazole-3-methanesulfonamide with anticonvulsant properties. The sulfamoyl group on zonisamide was expected to suppress seizures in a manner similar to another sulfonamide analogue, acetazolamide, through inhibition of carbonic anhydrase. However, this does not appear to be the primary mechanism of action since zonisamide requires much higher doses than aceta...
