    Propofol, marketed as Diprivan, among other names, is a short-acting medication that results in a decreased level of consciousness and a lack of memory for events.[2] Its uses include the starting and maintenance of general anesthesia, sedation for mechanically ventilated adults, and procedural sedation.[2] It is also used for status epilepticus if other medications have not worked.[2] It is given by injection into a vein, and the maximum effect takes about two minutes to occur and typically lasts five to ten minutes.[2]

    Common side effects of propofol include an irregular heart rate, low blood pressure, a burning sensation at the site of injection and the cessation of breathing.[2] Other serious side effects may include seizures, infections due to improper use, addiction, and propofol infusion syndrome with long-term use.[2] The medication appears to be safe for use during pregnancy but has not been well studied for use in this case.[2] It is not recommended for use during a cesarean section.[2] It is not a pain medication, so opioids such as morphine may also be used,[4] however whether or not they are always needed is not clear.[5] Propofol is believed to work at least partly via a receptor for GABA.[2]

    Propofol was discovered in 1977 and approved for use in the United States in 1989.[2][6] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines[7] and is available as a generic medication.[2] The wholesale price in the developing world is between 0.61 and 8.50 USD per vial.[8] It has been referred to as milk of amnesia (a play on 'milk of magnesia'), because of the milk-like appearance of the intravenous preparation.[9][10] Propofol is also used in veterinary medicine for anesthesia.[11][12]

    Medical uses

    Anesthesia

    Propofol is used for induction and maintenance (in some cases) of general anesthesia, having largely replaced sodium thiopental.[4] It can also be administered as part of an anesthesia maintenance technique called total intravenous anesthesia using either manually-programmed infusion pumps or computer-controlled infusion pumps in a process called target controlled infusion or TCI. Propofol is also used to sedate individuals who are receiving mechanical ventilation but are not undergoing surgery, such as patients in the intensive care unit. In critically ill patients, propofol is superior to lorazepam both in effectiveness and overall cost.[13] Propofol is relatively inexpensive compared to medications of similar use due to shorter ICU stay length.[13] One of the reasons propofol is thought to be more effective (although it has a longer half-life than lorazepam) is because studies have found that benzodiazepines like midazolam and lorazepam tend to accumulate in critically ill patients, prolonging sedation.[13]

    Propofol is often used instead of sodium thiopental for starting anesthesia because recovery from propofol is more rapid and "clear."

    Propofol is very commonly used in the ICU as a sedation medication for intubated people.[14] It can be run through a peripheral IV or central line. Propofol is frequently paired with fentanyl (for pain relief) in intubated and sedated people. Both are compatible in IV form.[15]

    Procedural sedation

    Propofol is also used for procedural sedation. Its use in these settings results in a faster recovery compared to midazolam.[16] It can also be combined with opioids or benzodiazepines.[17][18][19] Because of its rapid induction and recovery time, propofol is also widely used for sedation of infants and children undergoing MRI.[20] It is also often used in combination with ketamine with minimal side effects.[21]

    Dosage

    The dose used for rapid sequence intubation is generally 1 to 3 mg per kg by injection into a vein.[22] To keep a person sedated, such as required during mechanical ventilation, an ongoing infusion of 5 to 100 micrograms per kg per min (0.3 to 6 mg per kg per hour) is typically used though higher doses can be required.[23][24] For a 70 kg person this is just over 20 to 420 mg per hour.[23][24] Doses can be adjusted every 5 minutes.[23]

    For procedural sedation generally an initial dose of 0.5 to 1 mg per kg is used for adults with additional doses of 0.25 to 05 mg per kg every one to three minutes for the desired effect.[25] In children the initial dose may be 1.5 to 2 mg per kg with doses of 0.5 to 1 mg per kg every one to three minutes for the desired effect.[25]

    Other uses

    Executions

    The Missouri Supreme Court decided to allow the use of propofol to execute prisoners condemned to death. However, the first execution by the administration of a lethal dose of propofol was halted on October 11, 2013, by governor Jay Nixon following threats from the European Union to limit the drug's export if it were used for that purpose.[26][27] The United Kingdom had already banned the export of medicines or veterinary medicines containing propofol to the United States.[28]

    Recreational use

    Recreational use of the drug via self-administration has been reported[29][30] but is relatively rare due to its potency and the level of monitoring required for safe use. Critically, a steep dose-response curve makes recreational use of propofol very dangerous, and deaths from self-administration continue to be reported.[31][32] The short-term effects sought via recreational use include mild euphoria, hallucinations, and disinhibition.[33][34]

    Recreational use of the drug has been described among medical staff, such as anesthetists who have access to the drug.[35][36] It is reportedly more common among anesthetists on rotations with short rest periods (as rousing is to a well-rested state).[37] Long-term use has been reported to result in addiction.[35][38]

    Attention to the risks of off-label use of propofol increased in August 2009 due to the Los Angeles County coroner's conclusion that music icon Michael Jackson died from a mixture of propofol and the benzodiazepine drugs lorazepam, midazolam, and diazepam on June 25, 2009.[39][40][41][42] According to a July 22, 2009 search warrant affidavit unsealed by the district court of Harris County, Texas, Jackson's physician, Conrad Murray, administered 25 milligrams of propofol diluted with lidocaine shortly before Jackson's death.[40][41][43] Even so, as of 2016, propofol was not on a US Drug Enforcement Administration schedule.[37][44]

    Side effects

    One of propofol's most common side effects is pain on injection, especially in smaller veins. This pain arises from activation of the pain receptor, TRPA1,[45] found on sensory nerves and can be mitigated by pretreatment with lidocaine.[46] Less pain is experienced when infused at a slower rate in a large vein (antecubital fossa). Patients show considerable variability in their response to propofol, at times showing profound sedation with small doses.

    Additional side effects include low blood pressure related to vasodilation, transient apnea following induction doses, and cerebrovascular effects. Propofol has more pronounced hemodynamic effects relative to many intravenous anesthetic agents.[47] Reports of blood pressure drops of 30% or more are thought to be at least partially due to inhibition of sympathetic nerve activity.[48] This effect is related to the dose and rate of propofol administration. It may also be potentiated by opioid analgesics.[49] Propofol can also cause decreased systemic vascular resistance, myocardial blood flow, and oxygen consumption, possibly through direct vasodilation.[50] There are also reports that it may cause green discolouration of the urine.[51]

    Although propofol is heavily used in the adult ICU setting, the side effects associated with propofol seem to be of greater concern in children. In the 1990s, multiple reported deaths of children in ICUs associated with propofol sedation prompted the FDA to issue a warning.[52]

    As a respiratory depressant, propofol frequently produces apnea. The persistence of apnea can depend on factors such as premedication, dose administered, and rate of administration, and may sometimes persist for longer than 60 seconds.[53] Possibly as the result of depression of the central inspiratory drive, propofol may produce significant decreases in respiratory rate, minute volume, tidal volume, mean inspiratory flow rate, and functional residual capacity.[47]

    Diminishing cerebral blood flow, cerebral metabolic oxygen consumption, and intracranial pressure are also characteristics of propofol administration.[54] In addition, propofol may decrease intraocular pressure by as much as 50% in patients with normal intraocular pressure.[55]

    A more serious but rare side effect is dystonia.[56] Mild myoclonic movements are common, as with other intravenous hypnotic agents. Propofol appears to be safe for use in porphyria, and has not been known to trigger malignant hyperpyrexia.

    Propofol is also reported to induce priapism in some individuals,[57][58] and has been observed to suppress REM sleep stage and to worsen the poor sleep quality in some patients.[59]

    As with any other general anesthetic agent, propofol should be administered only where appropriately trained staff and facilities for monitoring are available, as well as proper airway management, a supply of supplemental oxygen, artificial ventilation, and cardiovascular resuscitation.[60]

    Because of its lipid base, some hospital facilities require the IV tubing (of continuous propofol infusions) to be changed after 12 hours. This is a preventive measure against microbial growth and infection.[61]

    Propofol infusion syndrome

    Main article: Propofol infusion syndrome

    A rare, but serious, side effect is propofol infusion syndrome. This potentially lethal metabolic derangement has been reported in critically ill patients after a prolonged infusion of high-dose propofol, sometimes in combination with catecholamines and/or corticosteroids.[62]

    Interactions

    The respiratory effects of propofol are increased if given with other respiratory depressants, including benzodiazepines.[63]

    Pharmacology

    Most local anesthetics are weak bases (B) B + H+ ⇌ BH+ (protonated form) The relative proportion of the two forms is given by: log (BH/B)+B = pKA - pH (e.g. 8.4 - 7.4 = 1) Thus the ionized molecules predominate

    Pharmacodynamics

    Propofol has been proposed to have several mechanisms of action,[64][65][66] both through potentiation of GABAA receptor activity and therefore acting as a GABAA receptor positive allosteric modulator, thereby slowing the channel-closing time, and at high doses, propofol may be able to activate GABAA receptors in the absence of GABA, behaving as a GABAA receptor agonist as well.[67][68][69] Propofol analogs have been shown to also act as sodium channel blockers.[70][71] Some research has also suggested that the endocannabinoid system may contribute significantly to propofol's anesthetic action and to its unique properties.[72] EEG research upon those undergoing general anesthesia with propofol finds that it causes a prominent reduction in the brain's information integration capacity.[73]

    Pharmacokinetics

    Propofol is highly protein-bound in vivo and is metabolised by conjugation in the liver.[74] The half-life of elimination of propofol has been estimated to be between 2 and 24 hours. However, its duration of clinical effect is much shorter, because propofol is rapidly distributed into peripheral tissues. When used for IV sedation, a single dose of propofol typically wears off within minutes. Propofol is versatile; the drug can be given for short or prolonged sedation, as well as for general anesthesia. Its use is not associated with nausea as is often seen with opioid medications. These characteristics of rapid onset and recovery along with its amnestic effects[75] have led to its widespread use for sedation and anesthesia.

    History

    John B. Glen, a British veterinarian and researcher at Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) spent 13 years developing propofol, an effort which led to the awarding to him of the prestigious 2018 Lasker Award for clinical research. Propofol was originally developed as ICI 35868. It was chosen for development after extensive evaluation and structure–activity relationship studies of the anesthetic potencies and pharmacokinetic profiles of a series of ortho-alkylated phenols.[76]

    First identified as a drug candidate in 1973, clinical trials followed in 1977, using a form solubilised in cremophor EL.[77] However, due to anaphylactic reactions to cremophor, this formulation was withdrawn from the market and subsequently reformulated as an emulsion of a soya oil/propofol mixture in water. The emulsified formulation was relaunched in 1986 by ICI (now AstraZeneca) under the brand name Diprivan. The currently available preparation is 1% propofol, 10% soybean oil, and 1.2% purified egg phospholipid as an emulsifier, with 2.25% glycerol as a tonicity-adjusting agent, and sodium hydroxide to adjust the pH. Diprivan contains EDTA, a common chelation agent, that also acts alone (bacteriostatically against some bacteria) and synergistically with some other antimicrobial agents. Newer generic formulations contain sodium metabisulfite or benzyl alcohol as antimicrobial agents. Propofol emulsion is a highly opaque white fluid due to the scattering of light from the tiny (about 150-nm) oil droplets it contains.

    Research

    A water-soluble prodrug form, fospropofol, has recently been developed and tested with positive results. Fospropofol is rapidly broken down by the enzyme alkaline phosphatase to form propofol. Marketed as Lusedra, this new formulation may not produce the pain at injection site that often occurs with the conventional form of the drug. The US Food and Drug Administration approved the product in 2008.[78] However fospropofol is a Schedule IV controlled substance with the DEA ACSCN of 2138 in the United States unlike propofol.[79]

    By incorporation of an azobenzene unit, a photoswitchable version of propofol (AP2) was developed in 2012 that allows for optical control of GABAA receptors with light.[80] In 2013, a propofol binding site on mammalian GABAA receptors has been identified by photolabeling using a diazirine derivative.[81] Additionally, it was shown that the hyaluronan polymer present in the synovia can be protected from free-radical synovia by propofol.[82]

Propofol is a general anesthetic, however its abuse for recreational purpose has been documented (120). Using control drugs implicated in both ΔFosB induction and addiction (ethanol and nicotine), similar ΔFosB expression was apparent when propofol was given to rats. Moreover, this cascade was shown to act via the dopamine D1 receptor in the NAc, suggesting that propofol has abuse potential (119)
