Edrophonium-d5 (chloride) is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of edrophonium (Item No. 15928) by GC- or LC-MS. Edrophonium is an inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase (AChE; Kis = 200, 200, and 400 nM for the human, bovine, and octopus enzymes, respectively).1 It induces repetitive action potentials in voltage-stimulated cat gastrocnemius plantaris muscles when intra-arterially administered at a dose of 10 µg/animal.2 Formulations containing edrophonium have previously been used in tests for diagnosing myasthenia gravis.
