Description

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[1][2][3][4][5].

In Vitro

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].

Cell Proliferation Assay[4]

Cell Line: glioblastoma stem (GSC) cells
Concentration: 3, 10, 20 µM
Incubation Time: 72 h
Result: Increased the percentage of GFP-positive cells in a dose-dependent manner from 5.3% in DMSO to 15.4%, 81.1%, and 86.8% in 3 μM, 10 μM, and 20 μM, respectively.
In Vivo

Atracurium besylate (1, 5, 10, 20, 50 mg/kg; i.v.) induces bronchoconstriction in DBA/2 and SJL mice[2].
Atracurium besylate (4.8 mg/kg; i.v.) induces neuromuscular blockade in rats[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: 5-12 weeks, 15-20 g male mice[2]
Dosage: 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 mg/kg
Administration: I.v.
Result: Induced bronchoconstriction and Atracurium-induced airway hyperresponsiveness in DBA/2 mice was eliminated in a dose-dependent manner by pretreatment with atropine or pancuronium.
Animal Model: 290 ± 30 g Male Sprague±Dawley rats (60 mg/kg heat-killed Corynebacteriumparvum for i.v.)[3]
Dosage: 4.8 mg/kg
Administration: I.v.
Result: Induced neuromuscular blockade in Corynebacteriumparvum-injected rats.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
