2,6-Diisopropylphenol (propofol), a new intravenous anaesthetic, has a structure similar to that of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). Both compounds inhibit the production of malondialdehyde (MDA) in rat liver mitochondria and microsomes as well as in rat brain synaptosomes treated with lipid peroxidation inducers.
