Cisatracurium Besylate
Chemical Structure
Overview
Cisatracurium Besylate, is a bis benzyl tetrahydroisoquinoline that has effect as a non-depolarizing neuromuscular-blocking drug, used adjunctively in anesthesia to facilitate endotracheal intubation and to provide skeletal muscle relaxation during surgery or mechanical ventilation. It shows intermediate duration of action. Cisatracurium is one of the ten isomers of the parent molecule, atracurium.Moreover, cisatracurium represents approximately 15% of the atracurium mixture.
