Ciprofol: A Novel Medication from Development towards Clinical Use

Abstract

most common adverse reactions elicited by propofol [5]. Therefore, in order to find new medications that can overcome these limitations and have the anesthetic effect similar to propofol, Haisco Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. independently developed the new anesthetic medication HSK3486 (ciprofol) [6,7], which is expected to become a widely used anesthesia/sedation medication in clinical practice. This review summarizes the current relevant research literature and clinical trial information available globally, so as to facilitate the readers to understand its mechanism of action and clinical characteristics, and thereby provide the theoretical basis for its further use in clinical practice.
