note = "This study addresses the hypothesis that the lack of anesthetic activity for (3α,5α)-3-hydroxypregn-16-ene-11,20-dione (Δ 16-alphaxalone) is explained by the steroid Δ 16 double bond constraining the steroid 20-carbonyl group to a position that prevents it from favorably interacting with γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA A) receptors.",
