isoflurane

Isoflurane (Forane) is a stable, non-explosive inhalation anesthetic that has been reported to induce caspase-3 activation.

Pancuronium is an aminosteroid antagonist of muscle-type nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) with an IC50value of 14.8 nM using patch clamp electrophysiology in BOSC23 cells expressing mouse nAChRs.1It acts as a non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent.2Pancuronium enhances anesthesia induced by isoflurane , reducing immobilization with an ED50value of 1.62 μg/kg.3 1.Liu, M., and Dilger, J.P.Site selectivity of competitive antagonists for the mouse adult muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptorMol.
