Optical Activity UNSPECIFIED

Mivacurium chloride (Mivacron) is a new benzylisoquinolinium choline-like diester neuromuscular blocking drug with an onset of action at equipotent doses that is comparable to atracurium and vecuronium but slower than succinylcholine. MIVACRON (a mixture of three stereoisomers) binds competitively to cholinergic receptors on the motor end-plate to antagonize the action of acetylcholine, resulting in a block of neuromuscular transmission. This action is antagonized by acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, such as neostigmine. MIVACRON is a short-acting neuromuscular blocking agent indicated for inpatients and outpatients, as an adjunct to general anesthesia, to facilitate tracheal intubation and to provide skeletal muscle relaxation during surgery or mechanical ventilation.

Originator

Curator's Comment: The development of mivacurium represents a collaboration between industrial pharmacologists and chemists at Burroughs Wellcome Co. (USA) and investigators at the Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA, USA.

Sample Use Guides

Adults Initial Doses Doses of 0.15 mg/kg administered over 5 to 15 seconds, 0.20 mg/kg administered over 30 seconds, or 0.25 mg/kg administered in divided doses (0.15 mg/kg followed in 30 seconds by 0.10 mg/kg) are recommended for facilitation of tracheal intubation for most patients
Route of Administration: Intravenous
In Vitro Use Guide
Curator's Comment: Left atrial preparations were stimulated by electrical field stimulation using a bipolar platinum electrode, and the effects of cumulative concentrations of nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents on the developed force in the presence and absence of propranolol (10(-8) M) and desipramine (10(-7) M) were recorded.
The left or right atria of rats were removed and suspended in organ baths. Mivacurium was added cumulatively (10(-9)-10(-5) M) in the presence and absence of the nonselective β-blocker propranolol (10(-8) M) and the noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor desipramine (10(-7) M), and heart rate changes were recorded in spontaneously beating right atria. Mivacurium increased developed force in a dose-dependent manner; the increases were significant at 10(-5) M concentration for mivacurium.
