エドロホニウム塩化物

使用Pharmacologically, edrophonium is also similar to neostigmine; however, it begins to act quicker and is shorter lasting.

使用A reversible Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor.

一般的な説明Edrophonium chloride,ethyl(m-hydroxyphenyl)dimethylammonium chloride(Tensilon), is a reversible anticholinesterase agent. It isbitter and very soluble in water and alcohol. Edrophoniumchloride injection has a pH of 5.2 to 5.5. On parenteral administration,edrophonium has a more rapid onset andshorter duration of action than neostigmine, pyridostigmine,or ambenonium. It is a specific anticurare agent andacts within 1 minute to alleviate overdose of d-tubocurarine,dimethyl d-tubocurarine, or gallamine triethiodide.

定義ChEBI: The chloride salt of edrophonium. A reversible inhibitor of cholinesterase with a rapid onset (30-60 seconds after injection) but a short duration of action (5-15 minutes), it is used in myasthenia gravis both diagnostically and to distinguish between unde - or over-treatment with other anticholinesterases. It has also been used for the reversal of neuromuscular blockade in anaesthesia, and for the management of poisoning due to tetrodotoxin, a neuromuscular blocking toxin found in puffer fish and other mari e animals.
