体外活性：依托咪酯可快速增加表达 alpha2B 受体的 HEK293 细胞中细胞外信号相关激酶 ERK1/2 的磷酸化。依托咪酯通过增加 alpha5GABAAR 活性，完全阻断长时程增强和记忆能力受损，并且这些效应可通过 L-655,708 预处理逆转。依托咪酯直接激活嗜铬细胞中的 GABA(A) 受体，从而升高 [Ca(2+)](i)。由于正阴离子平衡电位，依托咪酯通过蝇蕈醇调节 GABA(A) 受体激活，使嗜铬细胞去极化。依托咪酯 (3-100 mM) 以时间和浓度依赖性方式抑制谷氨酸吸收，在 2.4 mM 时出现半最大效应。依托咪酯导致 V(max) 显着降低，而转运蛋白的 K(m) 不受影响。

依托咪酯导致野生型小鼠动脉血压短暂升高（持续 2.4 分钟）（17 mmHg）。 Etomidate (10(-4) M) 还可抑制慢性缺氧大鼠中 CCh 和 KCl 累积浓度引起的 CH 气管环收缩。依托咪酯和氯胺酮可减弱对乙酰胆碱和缓激肽的肺血管舒张作用，但它们对犬肺动脉中对 A23187 的反应没有影响。依托咪酯和氯胺酮进一步减弱犬肺动脉中的 L-NAME 抗性和 TBA 抗性松弛。

Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Metabolism / Metabolites
Hepatic. Metabolized rapidly by ester hydrolysis to inactive metabolites.

Biological Half-Life
75 minutes.

Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation
◉ Summary of Use during Lactation
Amounts of etomidate in milk are very small and decrease rapidly. Existing data indicate that no waiting period is required before resuming breastfeeding after etomidate anesthesia. Breastfeeding can be resumed as soon as the mother has recovered sufficiently from general anesthesia to nurse. When a combination of anesthetic agents is used for a procedure, follow the recommendations for the most problematic medication used during the procedure. Monitor the infant for sedation, poor feeding and poor weight gain.

Description
Etomidate is the ethyl ester of 1-[(1R)-1-phenylethyl]-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylic acid. It is an intravenous general anaesthetic with no analgesic activity. It has a role as an intravenous anaesthetic and a sedative. It is a member of imidazoles and an ethyl ester. It is functionally related to a 1-[(1R)-1-phenylethyl]-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylic acid.
Imidazole derivative anesthetic and hypnotic with little effect on blood gases, ventilation, or the cardiovascular system. It has been proposed as an induction anesthetic.
Etomidate is a General Anesthetic. The physiologic effect of etomidate is by means of General Anesthesia.
Etomidate is an imidazole derivative with short-acting sedative, hypnotic, and general anesthetic properties. Etomidate appears to have gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) like effects, mediated through GABA-A receptor. The action enhances the inhibitory effect of GABA on the central nervous system by causing chloride channel opening events which leads to membrane hyperpolarization.
Imidazole derivative anesthetic and hypnotic with little effect on blood gases, ventilation, or the cardiovascular system. It has been proposed as an induction anesthetic.

Drug Indication
Used in the induction of general anesthesia.

---

Mechanism of Action
Etomidate binds at a distinct binding site associated with a Cl^- ionopore at the GABA_A receptor, increasing the duration of time for which the Cl^- ionopore is open. The post-synaptic inhibitory effect of GABA in the thalamus is, therefore, prolonged.
