New Model For Drug Discovery With A Fluorescent Anesthetic Demonstrated By Penn Researchers

A collaboration of University of Pennsylvania and University of Wisconsin chemists and anesthesiologists have identified a fluorescent anesthetic compound that will assist researchers in obtaining more precise information about how anesthetics work in the body and will provide a means to more rapidly test new anesthetic compounds in the search for safer and more effective drugs. The study is published online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.
