Propofol (2,6‑diisopropylphenol) is the most commonly used anesthetic agent. Much different modification for the standard emulsion has been attempted earlier but only a few have been implicated with some success. This article includes the study that has compared among different novel derivates has compared the efficacy of different derivatives of propofol. Following are some of the anesthetic agents which have been either derived from standard propofol or alternatives for propofol. EMULSION FORMULATIONS: Ampofol It is the propofol emulsion containing 5% soybean oil and 0.6% lecithin.
It has an advantage of lower glycerides content and can lower likelihood of microbial growth. It has a higher incidence of pain on injection. Aquafol Propofol microemulsion in 8% polyethylene glycol hydroxy stearate and purified polaxamer. Stability of emulsion is increased with this composition The…
