Drugs Acting on
Central Nervous
System (CNS)
The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord. The CNS controls most of
the functions of the body and mind. The drugs acting on CNS are classified based on their use.
This category includes the drugs that exert their action by acting on the central nervous
system.
7.1 GENERAL ANESTHETICS (GA)
A general anesthetic is a class of CNS depressant drugs that produce reversible partial or
total loss of consciousness.
Stages of Anesthesia
Guedel divided anesthesia into four different stages in 1937.
Stage-I Analgesia
Consciousness is maintained, analgesia is produced. Since higher cortical centers are
depressed, this stage is also called as a cortical stage.
Stage-II Delirium
In this stage removal of cortical inhibition leads to excitement and the patient may shout and
struggle violently. This stage is also called as a stage of excitement.
Stage-III Surgical Anesthesia
Skeletal muscles are relaxed and most of the operative procedures are performed at this stage.
Stage-IV Respiratory Paralysis
This is a toxic stage in which there is respiratory and cardiovascular collapse.

Chemistry
Meyer-Overton Theory of Anesthesia
The Meyer-Overton theory describes the correlation between lipid solubility of inhaled
anesthetics and MAC (Minimum Alveolar Concentration) and suggests that anesthesia occurs
when a sufficient number of inhalational anesthetic molecules dissolve in the lipid cell membrane.
GA are classified as follows:
(a) Inhalational anesthetics
(i) Volatile liquids
Ether
Halothane
Isoflurane
(ii) Gaseous
Nitrous oxide
(b) Intravenous anesthetics
(i) Fast-acting drugs
Thiopental sodium
Propofol
Etomidate
(ii) Slower acting drugs
Opioid analgesic – Fentanyl
(c) Dissociative anesthetic

Brand names: KETALAR, KETMIN, KETAMAX.
7.2 LOCAL ANESTHETICS (LA)
Local anesthetics are the agents which cause the reversible absence of pain sensation of the
selective part of the body. They are applied to achieve selective analgesia of a restricted part of
the body or local area of the body. These drugs are mainly useful for the temporary relief of
localized pain and itching due to minor burns, insect bites, allergic reactions, dental surgery,
minor surgeries, etc.
LA’s are used in different ways:
(a) Topical anesthesia: It is used to relieve pain or itching at mucous surfaces and wounds.
It is not directly applied to the broken skin.
(b) Nerve block: A relatively higher concentration of drugs is injected as close as possible to
the main nerve trunk supplied.
(c) Spinal anesthesia: A drug is injected into the subarachnoid space (spinal cord) to block
the roots of nerves.
(d) Infiltration anesthesia: In which drug is injected at one or more sites in and around the
area.
62
A Textbook of Pharmaceutical
Chemistry
LA’s are classified as:
(a) Injectable anesthetics
(i) Low potency anesthetics:
Procaine
(ii) Intermediate potency anesthetics:
Lidocaine, Prilocaine
(iii) High potency anesthetics:
Tetracaine, Bupivacaine
(b) Surface anesthetics
(i) Soluble anesthetics:
Lidocaine
Tetracaine
(ii) Insoluble anesthetics:
Benzocaine
Approved New Drugs
Dexmedetomidine
Mechanism of action: It has a specific and selective alpha-2 adrenoceptor agonist activity. It
is a new, short-acting, ester-based anesthetic agent.
Remimazolam
Mechanism of action: It specifically binds to benzodiazepine receptors in the brain with
high affinity. It does not show any affinity for other receptors, resulting in lower side effects.
7.3 SEDATIVES AND HYPNOTICS
Sedatives are agent that induces sedation and serves to calm or relieve anxiety. On the other
hand, hypnotics (Greek Hypnos – sleep) induce sleep. These actions are dose-dependent which
means in smaller doses the agents act as a sedative and in higher doses act as hypnotic. Hypnotics
induce sleep that is similar in sleep pattern to natural sleep. A sedative drug decreases the activity
and excitement of the patient and calms the anxiety by producing mild depression of CNS without
causing sleep. A hypnotic drug produces drowsiness by depressing the CNS.
63
Drugs Acting on Central Nervous System (CNS)
Various sedative-hypnotic agents are employed as:
Antianxiety agents
Anticonvulsant agents
Muscle relaxants
General anesthetics
The prolonged administration of these agents is not recommended because it may result into:
Alteration of natural sleep.
Chances of tolerance and physical dependence on the drug.
Hangover effect.
They are classified as follows:
(a) Benzodiazepines
(i) Hypnotic drugs
Diazepam
Flurazepam
Nitrazepam
Alprazolam
(ii) Antianxiety drugs
Diazepam
Oxazepam
Lorazepam
Nitrazepam
Alprazolam
(iii) Anticonvulsant drugs
