4-Iodopropofol is a drug derived from the commonly used sedative anaesthetic agent propofol. 4-Iodopropofol has similar effects to propofol on isolated receptors acting primarily as a GABAA positive modulator and sodium channel blocker but when given to animals it has only anxiolytic and anticonvulsant effects lacking the strong sedative-hypnotic profile of propofol.
