Application

Succinylcholine chloride dehydrate was used to study the mechanism of gating of Cys loop receptors in Xenopus laevis.4,5

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cholinergic antagonist which induces a long-lasting depolarization of the acetylcholine neuron membrane; neuromuscular blocking agent.
Succinylcholine is a cholinergic antagonist and a neuromuscular blocking agent. It induces depolarization of acetylcholine receptors on the muscle membrane and efflux of potassium from the muscle that leads to hypokalemia in individuals with upregulated expression of acetylcholine receptors.3

Succinylcholine is usually metabolized quickly by the butyrylcholinesterase enzyme (BChE) but genetic variants of BChE may prolong the duration of action. The Kalow (K) variant is the most common mutation in the butyrylcholinesterase gene (BCHE), being present in 25% of

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) are associated with life-threatening perioperative complications, including rhabdomyolysis, hyperkalemia, and hyperthermia. Current recommendations contraindicate use of succinylcholine and volatile anesthetics; however, the latter recommendation remains controversial. To review the perioperative outcomes
