Cycloplegia
Cycloplegia is the paralysis of the ciliary muscle, resulting in a loss of accommodation. Cycloplegic drugs, including atropine, cyclopentolate, succinylcholine, homatropine, scopolamine and tropicamide, are indicated for use in cycloplegic refractions and the treatment of uveitis. Other cycloplegic drugs include Neostigmine, Phentolamine and Pilocarpine

An abnormally dilated pupil.
Mydriasis is an excessive dilation of the pupil due to disease or drugs. Although the pupil will normally dilate in the dark, it is usually quite constricted in the light. A mydriatic pupil will remain excessively large, even in a bright environment. Constriction of the pupil is called miosis

Diphenoxylate is an opioid agonist used for the treatment of diarrhea that acts by slowing intestinal
contractions. It was discovered at Janssen Pharmaceutica in 1956. It is a congener to the narcotic Meperidine of which the common brand name is Demerol. This being the case, this medication is potentially habit-forming, particularly in high doses or when long-time usage is involved. Because of this, diphenoxylate is manufactured and marketed as a combination drug with atropine (Lomotil). This pharmaceutical strategy is designed to discourage abuse, because the anticholinergic effect of atropine will produce severe weakness and nausea if standard dosage is exceeded. This medication is classified as a Schedule V under the Controlled Substances Act by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the DEA in the United States when used in preparations. When diphenoxylate is used alone, it is classified as a Schedule II.

Tubocurarine
Tubocurarine chloride is a competitive antagonist of nicotinic neuromuscular acetylcholine receptors, used to paralyse patients undergoing anaesthesia. It is one of the chemicals that can be obtained from curare, itself an extract of Chondodendron tomentosum, a plant found in South American jungles which is used as a source of arrow poison. Native indians hunting animals with this poison were able to eat the animal's contaminated flesh without being affected by the toxin because tubocurarine cannot easily cross mucous membranes and is thus inactive orally.
The correct chemical structure was only elucidated circa 1970, even though the plant had been known since the Spanish Conquest. The word curare comes from the South American Indian name for the arrow poison: "ourare". Presumably the initial syllable was pronounced with a heavy glottal stroke. Tubocurarine is so called because the plant samples containing it were first shipped to Europe in tubes. Today, tubocurarine has fallen into disuse in western medicine, as safer synthetic alternatives such as atracurium are available. However, tubocurarine is still used in the United States and elsewhere as part of the lethal injection procedure.

Suxamethonium chloride
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Succinylcholine)
Routes Intravenous Suxamethonium chloride (also known as succinylcholine, scoline, or SUX) is a white crystalline substance, it is odourless and highly soluble in water. The compound consists of two acetylcholine molecules that are linked by their acetyl groups. Suxamethonium is sold under several trademark names such as Anectine, and may be referred to as "sux" for short. Suxamethonium acts as a depolarizing muscle relaxant. It imitates the action of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, but it is not degraded by acetylcholinesterase but by pseudocholinesterase, a plasma cholinesterase. This hydrolysis by pseudocholinesterase is much slower than that of acetylcholine by acetylcholinesterase.lcholinesterase.
There are two phases to the blocking effect of suxamethonium. The first is due to the prolonged stimulation of the acetylcholine receptor results first in disorganized muscle contractions (fasciculations, considered to be a side effect as mentioned below), as the acetylcholine receptors are stimulated. On stimulation, the acetylcholine receptor becomes a general ion channel, so there is a high flux of potassium out of the cell, and of sodium into the cell, resulting in an endplate potential less than the action potential. So, after the initial firing, the cell remains refractory.

Suxamethonium chloride
On continued stimulation, the acetylcholine receptors become desensitised and close. This means that new acetylcholine signals do not cause an action potential; and the continued binding of suxamethonium is ignored. This is the principal anaesthetic effect of suxamethonium, and wears off as the suxamethonium is degraded, and the acetylcholine receptors return to their normal configuration. The side effect of hyperkalaemia is because the acetylcholine receptor is propped open, allowing continued flow of potassium ions into the extracellular fluid. A typical increase of potassium ion serum concentration on administration of suxamethonium is 0.5 mmol per litre, whereas the normal range of potassium is 3.5 to 5 mmol per litre: a significant increase which results in the other side-effects of ventricular fibrillation due to reduced to action potential initiation in the heart.
Its medical uses are limited to short-term muscle relaxation in anesthesia and intensive care, usually for facilitation of endotracheal intubation. Despite its many undesired effects on the circulatory system and skeletal muscles (including malignant hyperthermia, a rare but life-threatening disease), it is perennially popular in emergency medicine because it arguably has the fastest onset and shortest duration of action of all muscle relaxants. Both are major points of consideration in the context of trauma care, where paralysis must be induced very quickly and the use of a longer-acting agent might mask the presence of a neurological deficit. A single intravenous dose of 1.0 to 1.5 milligrams per kilogram of body weight for adults or 2.0 milligrams per kilogram for pediatrics will cause flaccid paralysis within a minute of injection. For intramuscular injection higher doses are used and the effects last somewhat longer. Suxamethonium is quickly degraded by plasma cholinesterase and the duration of effect is usually in the range of a few minutes. When plasma levels of cholinesterase are greatly diminished or an atypical form of cholinesterase is present (an otherwise harmless inherited disorder), paralysis may last much longer.

Routes IV Atracurium is a neuromuscular-blocking drug or skeletal muscle relaxant in the category of non-depolarising neuromuscular blocking agents, used adjunctively in anaesthesia to facilitate endotracheal intubation and to provide skeletal muscle relaxation during surgery or mechanical ventilation. Side effects owing to histamine liberation are rash, reflex increase in heart rate, low blood pressure and bronchospasm. It is a bisbenzyltetrahydroisoquinolinium mixture of 10 Stereoisomers. Atracurium was first synthesized, in 1974 by George H. Dewar, in John B. Stenlake's medicinal chemistry research group at Strathclyde University, Scotland. It is the first non-depolarising non-steroidal skeletal muscle relaxant rationally designed to undergo chemodegradation in vivo. Atracurium was licensed to Burroughs Wellcome Co., which developed atracurium and eventually marketed it (as a mixture of all ten stereoisomers)under the name Tracrium. Atracurium's rate of degradation in vivo is influenced by pH and temperature. Atracurium was succeeded by cisatracurium, which is the R-cis R-cis isomer constituent of atracurium. The pharamcodynamic and adverse effect profile of cisatracurium proved to be superior to that of atracurium. Cisatracurium was made available worldwide as Nimbex, with its clinical development solely undertaken by Burroughs Wellcome Co.
