DOSE-RESPONSE RELATION FOR ATRACURIUM, ORG NC45 AND PANCURONIUM
The potencies of atracurium, Org NC 45 and pancuronium were determined using cumulative dose-response curves. The effective doses producing 95% twitch depression were 279 microgram kg-1, 56 microgram kg-1 and 64 microgram kg-1 respectively, the relative ...

Allosteric inhibition of muscle-type nicotinic acetylcholine receptors by a neuromuscular blocking agent pancuronium. [PDF]
Muscle relaxants are indispensable for surgical anesthesia. Early studies suggested that a classical non-depolarizing muscle relaxant pancuronium competitively binds to the ligand binding site to block nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR). Our group

Lethal Injection for Execution: Chemical Asphyxiation? [PDF]
Data from executions in the US suggest that current lethal injection protocols do not effect death through the mechanisms intended, and that potentially aware inmates could die through pancuronium-induced ...

Pancuronium Bromide for Chemical Immobilization of Adult Nile Crocodiles (Crocodylus niloticus): A Field Study. [PDF]
(1) Background: Pancuronium bromide is a neuromuscular blocker used for immobilizing crocodiles that can be reversed with neostigmine. A recommended drug dose has only been established for saltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus), mostly based on trials

Receptor subunit compositions underly distinct potencies of a muscle relaxant in fast and slow muscle fibers. [PDF]
A line of studies in the 1960s–1980s suggested that muscle relaxants do not work uniformly on all skeletal muscles, though its mechanism has not been clarified.

THE EFFECT OF PANCURONIUM BROMIDE AS A MUSCLE RELAXANT ALONE OR COMBINATION WITH DIAZEPAM IN SHEEP [PDF]
The effect of pancuronium bromide (0.025 mg/kg. B.W.) alone or combined with diazepam (1mg/Kg. I.V) were evaluated in six adult ewes. Pancuronium bromide alone exhibited a muscle relaxants effect, but without analgesia.
