Atracurium besylate
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Atracurium (BW-33A) besylate is a potent, competitive and non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent. Atracurium besylate also is an AChR receptor antagonist. Atracurium besylate induces bronchoconstriction and neuromuscular blockade. Atracurium besylate promotes astroglial differentiation.

Biological Activity
Atracurium besylate (10 μM; 72 h) promotes astroglial but not neuronal differentiation in HSR040622 and HSR040821 cells[4].
Atracurium besylate (10 μM; 48 h) reduces tumor engraftment and increases survival of mice xenotransplanted with ex-vivo treated GSCs[4].
Atracurium besylate (2.4 μM; 120 min) induces a complete fade of the tetanic contraction while only slightly affected the twitch in rat extensor digitorum longus muscle cells[5].
