The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of propofol are not affected by to a large extent the type of emulsion nor by the concentration of propofol in the intravenous formulation.
In a pilot study on the first application of Propofol 6% SAZN in humans, the pharmacokinetics and safety of the new product seem to be similar to those of Propofol 1% SAZN and Diprivan-10 after bolus injection. The results will have to be confirmed in a larger clinical study in order to develop Propofol 6% SAZN as an alternative for Diprivan-10.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
