decamethonium

Such as for decamethonium the straight line conformer is clearly the lowest energy state.

Succinylcholine has a 10-atom distance between its N atoms, like decamethonium.

Decamethonium and suxamethonium also have this same interonium distance.

One of the synthesized bis-quaternaries was decamethonium a 10-carbon bis-quaternary compound.

Neuromuscular blocking agents need to fit in a space close to 2 nanometres, which resembles the molecular length of decamethonium.

Examples include the nicotinic agonists suxamethonium and decamethonium.

Decamethonium does not produce unconsciousness or anesthesia, and its effects may cause considerable psychological distress while simultaneously making it impossible for a patient to communicate.

Following research with decamethonium, scientists developed suxamethonium, which is a double acetylcholine molecule that was connected at the acetyl end.

Decamethonium congeners, which prefer straight line conformations (their lowest energy state), usually span the two receptive sites with one molecule (binding inter-site).

Also, tubocurarine effects were known to be reversible by acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, whereas decamethonium and suxamethonium block were not reversible.

Ironically, laudexium itself was invented by a cross-combination between the prototypical non-depolarizing agent, d-tubocurarine and the depolarizing agent, decamethonium.

Taking additional observations into account, these researchers concluded that the effects on frog tissue of candicine most closely resembled those of the well-known depolarizing neuromuscular-blocking drug decamethonium.

Malignant hyperthermia is most commonly due to volatile anesthetic gases, such as halothane, sevoflurane, desflurane, isoflurane, enflurane or the depolarizing muscle relaxants suxamethonium and decamethonium used primarily in general anesthesia.

In the process of binding, decamethonium actually activates (depolarizes) the motor endplate--but since the decamethonium itself is not degraded, the membrane remains depolarized and unresponsive to normal acetylcholine release.
