Description
Sources: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1279945/

Decamethylene disquaternary salts, with a ten-carbon (C10) chain between the quaternary groups, had the most potent curariform action in the series of polymethylene bisquaternaries. Decamethonium was used clinically as a neuromuscular blocking drug for a short time. Decamethonium was different from d-tubocurarine and that it produced a transient augmentation of contraction. C10 produces neuromuscular block by initiating some active response in the endplate or muscle fibre. Unlike d-tubocurare, decamethonium was not reversed by anticholinesterase agents.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

The mean (SEM) dose of decamethonium producing 80% twitch tension depression (ED80) when administered alone was 37 (4.0) micrograms/kg.

Route of Administration: Parenteral

In Vitro Use Guide

1. In rat diaphragms immersed in solution containing 5 mm potassium the maximum uptake of labelled decamethonium was found at the end-plate region. In muscles depolarized in solution containing potassium methyl sulphate the uptake was reduced but a peak concentration at the end-plate region was still demonstrated. 2. The uptake of labelled decamethonium increased steadily with time and was interpreted in terms of the entry of decamethonium into the fibres. The permeability at 10-100 μm was similar to that of sodium. 3. The uptake of decamethonium at the end-plate region was dependent on the concentration. At low values the uptake in depolarized muscle was uniform along the fibres. Increase in concentration produced a peak at the end-plate region. This was interpreted as a change in permeability such that half the maximum effect was present at a concentration of approximately 5 μm.
