Chloroform
A halogenated hydrocarbon historically used as a general anesthetic and sedative that produces CNS depression through mechanisms affecting chloride channels and other neuronal targets. Its use in medicine has been entirely abandoned due to its narrow therapeutic index, hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, and potential carcinogenicity. It now has only research and industrial chemical applications.

Mekanisme Kerja
Selectively blocks angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptors, preventing the vasoconstrictive and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II. This results in vasodilation, reduced sodium retention, and decreased blood pressure.
