Alcuronium, a neuromuscular blocking drug, was recently introduced to the European Pharmacopoeia. A HPLC method is described to limit the impurities of alcuronium, namely the diallylcaracurine (DAC) and the allyl-Wieland-Gumlich-aldehyde (WCA), to less than 0.5%. Since alcuronium and all impurities

A series of ligands that allosterically modulate the binding of classical ligands to muscarinic receptors was evaluated at wild-type and chimeric receptors. All of the ligands studied had highest affinity toward the M(2) subtype and lowest affinity toward the M(5)

The Journal of pharmacology and experimental therapeutics, 301(2), 720-728 (2002-04-19)
Previous studies on allosteric interactions at muscarinic receptors have often focused on ligand-receptor binding interactions, because ligand binding seemed to reflect functional consequences. The prototypal allosteric agent alcuronium is known to bind with similar affinity to the M(2) subtype of

Allosteric modulation of G protein-coupled receptors has been intensively studied at muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. Findings made with archetypal allosteric agents such as gallamine, alcuronium, and bis(ammonio)alkane-type agents revealed that binding of orthosteric ligands that attach to the acetylcholine site can

1. Radioligand binding experiments indicate that the affinity of muscarinic receptors for their agonists may be enhanced by allosteric modulators. We have now investigated if brucine can enhance the inhibitory effects of muscarinic receptor agonists on the electrically evoked release
