General anesthesia drugs are meant to manifest unconscious patient by the inhibition of sensory, motor, and sympathetic nerve transmission at the level of the brain that results in unconsciousness and lack of sensation and incapable to feel painful stimuli while controlling involuntary reflexes. General anesthesia drugs are administrated by two routes either by intravenous anesthetics that includes drug molecules like propofol, etomidate, methohexital, thiopentone, midazolam and ketamine and other is inhalation anesthetics that includes drug molecules like desflurane, isoflurane, and sevoflurane. The key players are primarily focusing on modifying the chemical structures of existing drugs or drug classes with a direction to improve their pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamics, and side effect properties. Furthermore, they are developing drugs that have possibilities of using Target Controlled Infusion (TCI). The new applications of pre-existing anesthetic drugs are being explored. Thus, the introduction of such drugs with lesser side effects and target controlled infusion in the market are expected to drive the growth of the global general anesthesia drugs market over the forecast period.
The key players in the pharmacology industry are focusing on the development of drugs with lesser side effects by the modification of preexisting drugs. For instance, in July 2022, Cosmo pharmaceuticals, a global pharmaceutical company, announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved BYFAVO (Remimazolam), a novel benzodiazepine for intravenous anesthetics approved for use as procedural sedation and general anesthesia. It has an ultra-short duration of action and it uses target controlled infusion with short and expected duration of sedative action, short recovery time, rare accumulation after long-term infusion, and lesser side effects as compared to those of other currently used Benzodiazepines molecule of general anesthesia drugs. Thus, the introduction of such drugs with lesser side effects in the market is expected offer opportunities for drug manufacturers to develop more novel drugs with lesser side effects.
