  • Title: Evaluation of RX 72601 as an anti-curare agent.
    Author: Metcalf G, Dettmar PW.
    Journal: Br J Anaesth; 1975 Apr; 47(4):451-6. PubMed ID: 124579.
    Abstract:
    RX 72601, a new and potent anticholinesterase, has been evaluated for its ability to reverse the neuromuscular blockade induced by non-depolarizing muscle relaxants. In rats RX 72601 10 mug/kg i.v. proved effective in reversing the effects of alcuronium gallamine, pancuronium or tubocurarine and the drug exhibited a wide margin of safety. RX 72601 proved equally effective in reversing the effects of tubocurarine in both cats and baboons. In dogs and cats, effective anti-curare doses had little action on the cardiovascular or respiratory systems. Overall the results obtained indicate that RX 72601 may be a safe antagonist of non-depolarizing muscle relaxants and that it will be possible to use RX 72601 without prior administration of atropine.
