CAS 50700-72-6: Vecuronium
Description:Vecuronium is a non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent commonly used in anesthesia to facilitate intubation and provide muscle relaxation during surgical procedures. It acts by competitively inhibiting the action of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, thereby preventing muscle contraction. Vecuronium is characterized by its intermediate duration of action, making it suitable for both short and long surgical procedures. It is typically administered intravenously and is metabolized primarily in the liver, with some excretion occurring via the kidneys. The onset of action is relatively rapid, allowing for quick muscle relaxation. Vecuronium is often preferred due to its minimal cardiovascular effects compared to other neuromuscular blockers. Its chemical structure includes a steroid backbone, which contributes to its pharmacological properties. As with all neuromuscular blockers, careful monitoring of neuromuscular function is essential during its use to avoid complications such as prolonged paralysis or respiratory insufficiency.
