MAIN FINDING: Propofol demonstrates significant anti-inflammatory effects on microglia without ECS involvement.
KEY EVIDENCE: TNF and IL-6 production was reduced significantly with propofol treatment in LPS-stimulated microglia.
APPROACH: The study used SIMA9 microglial cells treated with propofol and CB receptor antagonists to assess effects.
SIGNIFICANCE: These findings highlight propofol's potential therapeutic role in CNS inflammation independent of the ECS.

Experiments evaluated propofol's impact on TNF and IL-6 in microglia, indicating ECS activation is not involved.

Abdolmohammadi et al. (2025) studied this question.
