Computational Approaches to Anesthetic Drug Discovery

Publication date: Available online 14 October 2019Source: Trends in Pharmacological SciencesAuthor(s): Megan McGrath, Andrea Pence, Douglas E. RainesAll currently available general anesthetics produce potentially deadly side effects. Unfortunately, few approaches have been developed to design safer ones, despite important advances in anesthetic mechanisms research. Cayla and colleagues recently showed that computational methods can be used to identify anesthetic lead compounds devoid of specific side effects.
