Cisatracurium is a competitive antagonist of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) and non-depolarizing muscle relaxant.{43025,43024} It inhibits stimulation of human adult muscle nAChRs by acetylcholine (Item No. 23829) with an IC50 value of 10 nM.{43025} It also inhibits mouse nAChRs with IC50 values of 54 and 115 nM for adult and embryonic receptors, respectively.{43027} Cisatracurium increases apoptosis in HUVEC cells and decreases proliferation of HepG2 and HUVEC cells in vitro in a concentration-dependent manner.{43028,43029} It reduces the magnitude of electrically-evoked twitch tensions in isolated rat extensor digitorum longus and soleus sciatic nerve muscle preparations in a dose-dependent manner.{43024} Cisatracurium blocks electrically-evoked muscle twitches in anesthetized rabbits with an ED95 value of 0.04 mg/kg.{43026} Formulations containing cisatracurium have been used to facilitate intubation prior to surgery and as muscle relaxants.

Description

A competitive antagonist of nAChRs and non-depolarizing muscle relaxant; inhibits acetylcholine stimulation of human adult muscle nAChRs (IC50 = 10 nM); inhibits mouse nAChRs (IC50s = 54 and 115 nM for adult and embryonic receptors, respectively); increases apoptosis in HUVEC cells; decreases proliferation of HepG2 and HUVEC cells in vitro; reduces the magnitude of electrically-evoked twitch tensions in isolated rat extensor digitorum longus and soleus sciatic nerve-muscle preparations; blocks electrically-evoked muscle twitches in anesthetized rabbits (ED95 = 0.04 mg/kg)
