| Ciprofol is a new anesthetic 2,6-disubstituted phenolic derivative, which binds to the gamma-aminobutyric acid-A (GABAA) receptor as does propofol. |
| Ciprofol has a stronger affinity for the GABAA receptor and produces greater GABAA-mediated cell currents in vitro. |
| A phase 1 study suggested potential clinical advantages of ciprofol as a sedation/anesthetic agent, with no evidence of drug-related toxicity. |
| Ciprofol might be effective as anesthetic agent for Chinese intensive care unit patients receiving mechanical ventilation requiring endotracheal intubation. |
