Alcuronium

A semi-synthetic muscle relaxant that blocks transmission between nerves and skeletal muscles, which came into use in anaesthesia in the 1960s, when laboratory-made curare-like drugs replaced natural curares. This family brings together the active ingredient and other impurities.

Did you know?It is derived from toxiferine, the main component of calabash curare used by South American peoples on hunting arrows: replacing two methyl groups with two allyl groups gave a much shorter effect.
