Abstract

Dipropofol has a strong antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. However, it lacked the solubility in water and this property was supposed to limit its efficacy. We tried to improve the solubility and found a new solubilization method of dipropofol in water by the addition of a monosaccharide or ascorbic acid.
