Thiopental
Thiopental is a short-acting barbiturate that is primarily used as an intravenous anesthetic. It acts by enhancing GABA-A receptor-mediated inhibition in the central nervous system, leading to sedation, hypnosis, and loss of consciousness. Due to its narrow therapeutic window and the risk of respiratory depression, its use should be approached with caution.
