Atracurium

A muscle relaxant used in anaesthesia to relax the muscles during intubation and surgery: it was synthesised in 1974 at the University of Strathclyde, Scotland, and entered British clinical practice in 1983. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, labelled standards and other impurities.

Did you know?It grew out of work on petaline, an alkaloid from Leontice leontopetalum that breaks down by Hofmann elimination: atracurium uses the same reaction and falls apart on its own at body pH and temperature, without the liver or kidneys.
