Prоpоfоl is compound thаt is used аs аn anesthetic. It has a relatively short half life and does not induce nausea as is frequently observed with other anesthetics. It can be habit forming if taken recreationally but this is a very bad idea since its steep dose‑response curve means that it must be administered by an anesthesiologist. It is also the drug that was administered to Michael Jackson by his physician before his death. Its mechanism of action is not entirely known but it is believed to bind to the GABA receptor. What interactions does it most likely make with its biomolecular target? Propofol
