methoxyflurane 76-38-0

Methoxyflurane is a halogenated volatile anaesthetic agent with potent analgesic effects at sub-anaesthetic doses. Methoxyflurane widely used as an open-circuit anaesthetic in small laboratory animals for several decades. Methoxyflurane has the risk of nephrotoxicity[1][2].

Methoxyflurane is a clear colorless liquid with a sweet fruity odor. (NTP, 1992)|Methoxyflurane is an ether in which the two groups attached to the central oxygen atom are methyl and 2,2-dichloro-1,1-difluoroethyl. It has a role as an inhalation anaesthetic, a non-narcotic analgesic, a hepatotoxic agent and a nephrotoxic agent. It is an organofluorine compound, an organochlorine compound and an ether.|An inhalation anesthetic. Currently, methoxyflurane is rarely used for surgical, obstetric, or dental anesthesia. If so employed, it should be administered with nitrous oxide to achieve a relatively light level of anesthesia, and a neuromuscular blocking agent given concurrently to obtain the desired degree of muscular relaxation.
