The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition containing an etomidate derivative, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, a
prodrug thereof, or an
isotope derivative thereof, and a use thereof as an
anesthetic,
sedative and / or
hypnotic drug for animals or humans. The pharmaceutical composition is a
fat emulsion injection, the encapsulation efficiency of the pharmaceutical composition is stabilized at 90% or above to 98%, the particle size is small and concentrated in distribution, the content of related substances (including acid impurities and total impurities) is lower than that of an etomidate
emulsion injection, and the stability,
bioavailability, safety and effectiveness of the pharmaceutical composition are better. In the aspect of clinical application, compared with etomidate, the etomidate derivative has the advantages that the clinical dosage is reduced, the
anesthesia,
sedation and / or
hypnosis duration on animals or human beings under the condition of a relatively low dosage is longer than that of an etomidate group with a relatively
high dosage, the
recovery time is overall better than that of the etomidate group, the adverse reaction is obviously reduced, and the etomidate derivative has a good clinical application prospect. The problems that the etomidate
anesthetic is large in dosage and large in
side effect are solved, and discomfort of a patient in the treatment process can be remarkably reduced.
