Sevoflurane is a general anesthetic that is FDA approved for the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia in adult and pediatric patients for inpatient and outpatient surgery. Sevoflurane induces a reduction in junctional conductance by decreasing gap junction channel opening times and increasing gap junction channel closing times. Sevoflurane also activates calcium dependent ATPase in the sarcoplasmic reticulum by increasing the fluidity of the lipid membrane. It also appears to bind the D subunit of ATP synthase and NADH dehydogenase and also binds to the GABA receptor. Common adverse reactions include cardiovascular: bradyarrhythmia, hypotension, gastrointestinal: nausea, vomiting, neurologic: somnolence, psychiatric: agitation, respiratory: cough, interrupted breathing and other: shivering.
Ginsenoside Rb3 is a protopanaxadiol ginsenoside that can be isolated from several different Panax species. Ginsenoside Rb3 exerts antidepressant and antidiabetic activities as well as cardio- and neroprotective action in ischemic tissue injury in animal models. Ginsenoside Rb3 inhibits apoptosis and cell proliferation, in addition it demonstrates antiaxidant properties. Ginsenoside Rb3 may modulate activity of GABA-A and NMDA receptors.
Brucine is an alkaloid resembling strychnine but it is much less potent than strychnine. Brucine was first discovered in 1819 by Pelletier and Caventou in the bark of the Strychnos nux vomica tree. Brucine causes paralysis of the peripheral nerve endings and produces violent convulsions. Since brucine is a large chiral molecule, it has been used as an enantioselective recognition agent using in chiral resolution. While brucine has been shown to have good anti-tumor effects, on both hepatocellular carcinoma and breast cancer, its narrow therapeutic window has limited its use as a treatment for cancer. Brucine is also used in traditional Chinese medicine as an anti-inflammatory and analgesic agent, as well as in some Ayurveda and homeopathy drugs. Like strychnine, brucine also functions as antagonist at the glycine receptor and paralyzes the inhibitory neurons

Strychnine is an indole alkaloid obtained from the seeds of the Indian tree Strychnos nux-vomica. It gets its scientific name “strychnos” from Carl Linnaeus, who classified it back in 1753, but it was known to the population of India way before then. Nux vomica originates in India. Strychnine-containing baits are currently labelled for below-ground use and are intended for the control of pocket gophers. Their use as indoor pesticides has been eliminated since 1989. In the past, strychnine has been used as a pesticide to control rats, moles, gophers, and coyotes. Strychnine is highly toxic to most domestic animals. Strychnine is a competitive antagonist at glycine receptors and thus a convulsant. It has been used as an analeptic, in the treatment of nonketotic hyperglycinemia and sleep apnea.
