Description:

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

Succinylcholine chloride is a quaternary skeletal muscle relaxant. It is a depolarizing relaxant, acting in about 30 seconds with an average duration of three to five minutes. Succinylcholine is used in surgical, anesthetic, and other procedures in which a brief period of muscle relaxation is called for.

Product Data
Biological target:
Succinylcholine is a skeletal muscle relaxant.
In vitro activity:
Results showed a progressive increase in muscle cells' sensitivity to succinylcholine chloride post-denervation, without significant association with γ-AChR expression. Reference: Mol Med Rep. 2015 Nov;12(5):7796-800. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26458413/
In vivo activity:
Succinylcholine chloride may cause life-threatening hyperkalemia. A hospitalized patient with a severe course of COVID-19 underwent reintubation on day 16. The applied scheme was rapid sequence induction and intubation with administration of Succinylcholine chloride. Immediately after intubation, there was a sudden cardiac arrest due to hyperkalemia (cK + 10.2 meq/L).
