Rapacuronium Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Description

Rapacuronium bromide was introduced in the US as a parenterally administered adjunct to general anesthesia during surgical procedures. It is a new steroidal derivative belonging to the same class as vecuronium bromide. This 2,16-bispiperidinylandrostane derivative can be synthesized in 3 steps from the 3-hydroxy-androstan-17-one analog and finally quaternized with allyl bromide. Rapacuronium bromide is a nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking drug with a rapid onset and a short duration of action. With a relatively low potency (ED₉₀ = 1.15 mg/kg), Rapacuronium is expected to be substituted for the polarizing succinylcholine with very short duration of action.
