Skeletal Muscle RelaxantsFACULTY OF PHARMACYUNIVERSITY OF SANTO TOMAS
Skeletal Muscle RelaxantsDivided into 2 dissimilar groupsNeuromuscular blocking agentsAct at the skeletal myoneural junction to produce muscle paralysis to facilitate surgery or artificial ventilation
Skeletal Muscle RelaxantsDivided into 2 dissimilar groupsSpasmolytic drugsAct on the CNS to reduce abnormally elevated tone caused by neurologic or muscle endplate disease
Skeletal Muscle RelaxantsTubocurarineMivaricuriumBaclofenDiazepamTizanidineDantroleneCyclobenzaprineSuccinylcholine
Skeletal Muscle RelaxantsNEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKING DRUGSClassification and prototypesSkeletal muscle contractionEvoked by a nicotinic cholinergic transmission processBlockade of transmission at the skeletal muscleendplate (postsynaptic structure bearing thenicotinic receptors) Produces relaxation of muscleA requirement for surgery
Skeletal Muscle RelaxantsNEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKING DRUGSClassification and Prototypes Neuromuscular blockersQuaternary aminesStructurally related to acetylcholine (ACh) Nondepolarizing typeNicotinic antagonist TubocurarineDepolarizing typeNicotinic agonist Succinylcholine

Skeletal Muscle RelaxantsNEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKING DRUGSNondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugsPharmacokineticsAtracurium clearanceHoffman eliminationRapid spontaneous breakdown to form laudanosine and other productsIndependent of hepatic or renal function
Skeletal Muscle RelaxantsNEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKING DRUGSNondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugsPharmacokineticsCisatracuriumStereoisomer of atracuriumLess dependence oh hepatic metabolismForms less laudanosineLess likely to release histamineFewer side effects
Skeletal Muscle RelaxantsNEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKING DRUGSNondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugsMechanism of actionPrevent the action of ACh at the skeletal muscle endplateAct as surmountable blockersOvercomed by increasing the amount of agonist
Skeletal Muscle RelaxantsNEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKING DRUGSNondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugsMechanism of actionCompete with ACh at the receptor siteEffect is reversed by cholinesterase inhibitors
Skeletal Muscle RelaxantsNEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKING DRUGSDepolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugsPharmacokinetics SuccinylcholineComposed of 2 ACh moleculesMetabolized by the plasma cholinesterase(butyrylcholinesterase or pseudocholinesterase)Duration of action of only a few minutes if given as a single dose
Skeletal Muscle RelaxantsNEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKING DRUGSDepolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugsPharmacokinetics SuccinylcholineBlockade may be prolonged in patients with genetic variants of plasma cholinesterase Metabolizes the drug very slowly Not rapidly hydrolyzed by acetylcholinesterase
Skeletal Muscle RelaxantsNEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKING DRUGSDepolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugsMechanism of actionAct like nicotinic agonistsDepolarize the neuromuscular end plateParalysis that results from persistent depolarization of the end plate
Skeletal Muscle RelaxantsNEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKING DRUGSDepolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugsMechanism of actionInitial depolarizationTwitching and fasciculationsContinuous depolarizationMuscle relaxation and paralysis
Skeletal Muscle RelaxantsNEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKING DRUGSDepolarizing Neuromuscular Blocking DrugsMechanism of actionContinuous infusionChanges from continuous depolarization(phase I) to gradual repolarization withresistance (phase II)
Skeletal Muscle RelaxantsNEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKING DRUGSReversal of blockadeNondepolarizing blockersReversed by increasing the concentrationof normal transmitter at the receptorsAdministration of cholinesterase inhibitorsNeostigmine and physostigmine
Skeletal Muscle RelaxantsNEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKING DRUGSReversal of blockadeDepolarizing blockersPhase I (Continuous depolarization)Paralysis is increased by cholinesteraseinhibitorsPhase II (Desensitization)Membrane cannot easily be depolarized againReversed by cholinesterase inhibitors
Skeletal Muscle RelaxantsNEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKING DRUGSToxicityRespiratory paralysisFull doses leads directly to respiratoryparalysisMechanical ventilation should be provided to avoid asphyxiation

Skeletal Muscle RelaxantsNEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKING DRUGSToxicityAutonomic effects and histamine releaseHistamine releaseOccur with tubocurarineTo a slight extent with atracurium,mivacurium, and succinylcholine
Skeletal Muscle RelaxantsNEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKING DRUGSToxicitySpecial effects of succinylcholineMuscle pain is a common postoperative complaint Muscle damage may occurStimulates cardiac muscarinic receptors Pancuronium is a moderate blocker
