sugammadex brands

Molecular formula: C72H112O48S8

Sugammadex is a modified gamma-cyclodextrin which forms very tight water soluble complexes at a 1:1 ratio with steroidal neuromuscular blocking drugs (rocuronium > vecuronium >> pancuronium). Sugammadex creates a concentration gradient which favors movement of rocurionium from the neuromuscular junction into the plasma, which quickly reverses rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade. The free rocuronium in the plasma are then bound tightly to sugammadex, assisting the diffusion of the remaining rocuronium molecules out of the neuromuscular junction and increasing bound and free rocuronium in the plasma.
