Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Pancuronium Bromide, also known as Pavulon and NA-97, is a bis-quaternary steroid that is a competitive nicotinic antagonist. As a neuromuscular blocking agent, Pancuronium bromide is more potent than curare but has less effect on the circulatory system and on histamine release.

Product Data
Biological target:
Pancuronium dibromide, a bis-quaternary steroid, is a neuromuscular relaxant. Pancuronium dibromide inhibits neuromuscular transmission by competing with acetylcholine for binding sites on nACh receptors.
In vitro activity:
The mechanisms underlying the fade of the tetanic contraction induced by pancuronium were studied in vitro by means of myographical and electrophysiological techniques in the extensor digitorum longus muscle of the rat. Pancuronium (0.5 mumol/l) induced a complete fade of the tetanic contraction while leaving the twitch unaffected. At the same concentration it decreased the amplitude and increased the tetanic rundown of trains of endplate potentials (e.p.ps) evoked in the frequency of 50 Hz. The electrophysiological changes induced by pancuronium were due to decreases in both quantal sizes and quantal contents of the e.p.ps. Reference: Pharmacology. 1994 Oct;49(4):265-70. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7831390/
In vivo activity:
The EFS-induced contraction for the concentration range of gallamine 0.32 microM-0.32 mM was found to differ significantly between the strips treated with pancuronium in the organ bath and their control group. For the guinea-pigs anaesthetized and pretreated with pancuronium a significant difference with control was observed at gallamine concentrations ranging from 0.032-0.32 mM. These results show that pancuronium, added to the organ bath as well as administered intravenously to the guinea-pig, masked the inhibitory muscarinic receptor.
