Used as a strong but short acting sedative, primarily for induction in surgical anaesthesia. There is no information regarding approval for clinical use of this drug on the US FDA or European Medicines Agency websites. Individual national approval agencies may have granted marketing authorisation.
Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
Thiamylal positively modulates the activity of GABAA anion channels. The drug increases inhibitory GABAergic tone and causes neuro-inhibition. Drug-induced effects are observed clinically as anxiolytic, sedative, anticonvulsant and skeletal muscle relaxant actions.
Due to the complex and varied nature of the precise subunit composition of GABAA receptors, and a paucity of affinity data with definitive molecular details, we have not tagged a primary target for this drug.
