Xenon
Xenon is a noble gas that produces general anesthesia through NMDA receptor antagonism and potassium channel activation, with additional neuroprotective properties attributed to NMDA blockade and HIF-1alpha activation. It is used clinically as an inhalation anesthetic in some European countries, offering advantages including rapid induction and recovery, cardiovascular stability, and absence of hepatotoxicity, and has been investigated for neuroprotection in ischemia-reperfusion injury and asphyxia. As a radioactive isotope (133Xe), it is used in pulmonary ventilation scintigraphy.
