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

Atracurium (10 µM; 72 h) promotes astroglial but not neuronal differentiation in HSR040622 and HSR040821 cells[4].
Atracurium (10 µM; 48 h) reduces tumor engraftment and increases survival of mice xenotransplanted with ex-vivo treated GSCs[4].
Atracurium (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].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
