  <description>Etomidate is an organic compound with the chemical formula C14H16N2O2 and an average molecular weight of 244.29 g/mol. Etomidate belongs to the imidazoles, a subclass of azoles within the organic compounds.

This compound is found in or released from five recorded sources. These include healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and veterinary products where it is used as an anesthetic, as well as household cleaning and consumer products such as bleaching agents, cigar cigarettes, and other smoking requisites. It is also associated with electrical and electronic equipment, specifically electrically stimulated smoking devices. The recorded route of exposure for this compound is intravenous.

Etomidate interacts with 17 recorded protein targets. It acts as an agonist, modulator, or positive allosteric modulator of the Alpha-2B adrenergic receptor (ADRA2B), Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit alpha-1 (GABRA1), Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit delta (GABRD), and Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit pi (GABRP), in addition to 13 other proteins.</description>
