Product Data Sheet
Decamethonium iodide
Catalog No. A91614
Decamethonium iodide is a neuromuscular blocking agent that targets nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) at the neuromuscular junction. Its primary mechanism involves binding to nAChRs, leading to depolarization block and resulting in skeletal muscle paralysis, making it essential in anesthesia for inducing muscle relaxation during surgical procedures. Additionally, Decamethonium iodide serves as a valuable reference standard in pharmacological studies focused on nAChRs, facilitating research into neuromuscular transmission and receptor function.
