**Semantic type:** Pharmacologic Substance

**Definition:** A 2,6-disubstituted alkylphenol and structural analog of propofol, that may potentially be used for the induction of sedation and hypnosis during general anesthesia. Upon intravenous administration, cipepofol facilitates inhibitory neurotransmission mediated by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). This induces and maintains sedation and hypnosis.
