About Remimazolam
Remimazolam is an innovative short-acting general anaesthetic/sedative. Due
to its short duration of action and good controllability, it has a
preferable efficacy and safety profile relative to other currently marketed
anaesthesia compounds. The rapid offset of Remimazolam's effect is due to
its metabolism by tissue esterase enzymes that are widely distributed
throughout the body. Remimazolam has potential in three indications:
  - Procedural sedation

  - General anaesthesia

  - ICU sedation

Remimazolam is available for licensing outside Japan, China, Russia (CIS)
Turkey, MENA Region, South Korea and Canada, where the compound is
partnered with, Ono Pharmaceutical, Yichang Humanwell, R-Pharm, TR-Pharm,
Hana Pharm and Pendopharm.
