Succinylcholine Chemistry
Succinylcholine is comprised of two molecules of acetylcholine abutting calm at their acetyl groups. It is alleged because if two acerb acerbic molecules, which are allotment of ACETYLcholine, are abutting together, they anatomy succinic acid. Succinic acerbic + choline = succinylcholine. To be added accurate, the atom frequently refered to as succinylcholine is succinyldicholine, and pseudocholinesterase in fact break it down into succinylmonocholine, which has abundant weaker neuromuscular blocking properties, and again into succinic acid.
Succinylcholine is aswell alleged suxamethonium, which is agnate in name to decamethonium, addition depolarizing abettor structurally agnate to succinylcholine but after the oxygen atoms. Decamethonium is fabricated up of 2 quaternary ammoniums (N+ with methyl groups) and a 10 carbon alternation in amid the two ammonium cations.
Succinylcholine has the atomic blueprint C14H30N2O4.
