Succinylcholine is an agonist of muscle-type nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs).{52931} It activates the muscle-type ?1?1?? subunit-containing nAChR (EC50 = 10.8 µM in X. laevis oocytes expressing the human receptor) then induces desensitization of the receptor. It is selective for the muscle-type nAChR over ?3?2, ?3?4, ?4?2, or ?7 subunit-containing neuronal nAChRs (IC50s = >100 µM). Succinylcholine (600 µg) induces neuromuscular block in isolated rat phrenic nerve-diaphragm preparations stimulated via the phrenic nerve.{52932} Formulations containing succinylcholine have been used as an adjunct to general anesthesia for its muscle relaxant properties.
