Biochem/physiol Actions

Cisatracurium besylate is a potent, nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent. It acts on cholinergic receptors to block neuromuscular transmission, which can be antagonized by acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. Cisatracurium besylate is one of the ten stereoisomers of astracurium that does not cause histamine release.

Atracurium is a mixture of ten stereoisomers. 51W89, one of these isomers, is a potent nondepolarizing intermediate-duration neuromuscular blocking agent. Preclinical studies have shown 51W89 to be significantly more potent than atracurium but with a similar neuromuscular blocking profile. This
