cisatracurium brands

Molecular formula: C53H72N2O12+2

Like other non-depolarising neuromuscular blocking agents, cisatracurium binds competitively to cholinergic receptors in motor end-plate neurons, blocking acetylcholine from accessing the receptors. Therefore, in the presence of cisatracurium, an end-plate potential cannot be developed. Ion channels remain closed, the cell does not depolarize, and an action potential is not transmitted.
