    Product Description

    Pancuronium is an aminosteroid antagonist of muscle-type nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) with an IC50 value of 14.8 nM using patch clamp electrophysiology in BOSC23 cells expressing mouse nAChRs.1 It acts as a non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent.2 Pancuronium enhances anesthesia induced by isoflurane (Item No. 23989), reducing immobilization with an ED50 value of 1.62 µg/kg.3
