To investigate the effect of magnesium sulfate and its interaction with the non-depolarizing muscle relaxant vecuronium at adult muscle-type acetylcholine receptors in vitro. Adult muscle-type acetylcholine receptors were expressed in HEK293 cells. Drug-containing solution was applied via a gravity-driven perfusion

The apparent recreational use of an aminosteroidal non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent, vecuronium, is reported in this postmortem investigation. A quantitative method for the analysis of vecuronium and its active metabolite, 3-desacetylvecuronium, in blood and tissue samples was developed using liquid
