Desflurane
General Anesthetic: Inhaled
no specific receptor; interactions with proteins comprising ion channels; some facilitate GABA mediated inhibition and others antagonize the excitatory action of glutamic acid
Isoflurane
General Anesthetic: Inhaled
no specific receptor; interactions with proteins comprising ion channels; some facilitate GABA mediated inhibition and others antagonize the excitatory action of glutamic acid
Nitrous Oxide
General Anesthetic: Inhaled
no specific receptor; interactions with proteins comprising ion channels; some facilitate GABA mediated inhibition and others antagonize the excitatory action of glutamic acid
Sevoflurane
General Anesthetic: Inhaled
no specific receptor; interactions with proteins comprising ion channels; some facilitate GABA mediated inhibition and others antagonize the excitatory action of glutamic acid

Benoxinate
Local Anesthetic: Topical
bind to a location on the Na channel; alters depolarization (blocks channel); increase recovery time; primarily used to block information about painful stimuli from the point of stimulus to the spinal column
Cocaine
Local Anesthetic: Topical
bind to a location on the Na channel; alters depolarization (blocks channel); increase recovery time; primarily used to block information about painful stimuli from the point of stimulus to the spinal column
also has alpha adrenergic agonist activity; causes vasoconstriction
Lidocaine
Local Anesthetic: Topical
bind to a location on the Na channel; alters depolarization (blocks channel); increase recovery time; primarily used to block information about painful stimuli from the point of stimulus to the spinal column
Proparacaine
Local Anesthetic: Topical
bind to a location on the Na channel; alters depolarization (blocks channel); increase recovery time; primarily used to block information about painful stimuli from the point of stimulus to the spinal column
Tetracaine
Local Anesthetic: Topical
bind to a location on the Na channel; alters depolarization (blocks channel); increase recovery time; primarily used to block information about painful stimuli from the point of stimulus to the spinal column
Articaine
Local Anesthetic: Injection
bind to a location on the Na channel; alters depolarization (blocks channel); increase recovery time; primarily used to block information about painful stimuli from the point of stimulus to the spinal column
Bupivicaine
Local Anesthetic: Injection
bind to a location on the Na channel; alters depolarization (blocks channel); increase recovery time; primarily used to block information about painful stimuli from the point of stimulus to the spinal column
Mepivicaine
Local Anesthetic: Injection
bind to a location on the Na channel; alters depolarization (blocks channel); increase recovery time; primarily used to block information about painful stimuli from the point of stimulus to the spinal column
