Skeletal Muscle Relaxants
• Drugs adm. systemically to cause reversible Skeletal muscle paralysis required mainly for surgical procedures.
• Two types-
1. Peripheral Skeletal muscle Relaxants
- Non-Depolarizing (Competitive blockers)
- Depolarizing
- Others- Botylinum Toxin, Dantrolene
2. Central Skeletal muscle Relaxants

Classification of Non-Depolarizing (Competitive blockers)

Other Effects of Non-Depolarizing Neuromuscular Blockers
• Action at Autonomic Ganglia - d-TC blocks (Nn) also- HR, BP- newer agents have less ganglionic effects
• Histamine Release- by d-TC- d-TC-bronchospasm, bronchial and salivary secretions- newer agents have minimal His. releasing effects
5
ADR- Non-Depolarizing Neuromuscular Blockers
• Hypotension- d-TC• Flushing & Asthma- d-TC• Tachycardia• Respiratory paralysis• Apnea- ChE def.- Miva
6
Type of Sk. Muscle Relaxant
Depolarizing
Drug Succinylcholine
Chemical Class Dicholine ester
Pk class Ultrashort duration
Time of onset 1-1.5 mins
Duration of action 5-8 mins
Mode of Elimination Hydrolysis by plasma cholinesterases
7
Other Effects of Depolarizing Neuromuscular Blockers
• Action at Autonomic Ganglia -SCh may stimulate (Nn rec.) also- HR, +BP
• Histamine Release- by SCh.
-SCh-bronchospasm, bronchial and salivary secretions
8
ADR- Depolarizing Neuromuscular Blockers(SCh)
• Hyperkalemia- Arrhythmia• Muscle pain- post-op muscle soreness• SCh apnea-
- incidence- 1:3000- atypical ChE
• Sinus bradycardia• Respiratory paralysis• Malignant hyperthermia (SCh + halothane)
9
Malignant Hyperthermia- Genetically altered Pd drug responses
Drug- Succinylcholine & HalothaneFeatures-Skeletal muscle rigidity Hypercarbia, hypoxiaTemperature elevationTachypnea , Tachycardia Cardiac dysrhythmias Acidosis HyperkalemiaT/t-- Dantrolene (DOC)-IV - O2

Drug Interactions
• ChE Inhibitors--antagonize competitive and enhance
depolarizing
• Inhalational Anesthetics (synergistic)
• Aminoglycoside Antibiotics (synergistic)
• Thiopentone & SCh
11
Therapeutic Uses of Muscle Relaxants1. Adjuvant in General anesthesia2. Orthopedic procedures for alignment of fractures &
dislocations- (SCh)3. To facilitate Endotracheal intubations – use one with a
short duration of action (SCh- preferred)4. To facilitate brief surgical procedures- (SCh)
- Bronchoscopy, Esophagoscopy, Laryngoscopy- short acting preferred eg., SCh
5. In electroshock treatment (ECT) of psychiatric disorders- SCh
6. Diagnosis of Myasthenia gravis7. T/t of Laryngospasm- (SCh)8. Status Epilepticus9. Tetanus10. Euthanasia

Comparison of d-TC & SChd-TC (Non-depol.) SCh-(depol.)
Competitive antagonists at Nm rec. Persisitant Depol.
Higher dose Dual block
ChE inhibitors reverses the block -Toxicity reversed by Neostigmine
Do not reverses the block
-Toxicity reversed by fresh blood transfusion
No initial fasciculations initial fasciculations
Elimination- Liver Renal Elimination- plasma ChEs

Centrally acting Skeletal Muscle Relaxants
• Act - Higher centres without any loss of consciousness• Inhibit polysynaptic reflexes- muscle tone• ADR- CNS depression- sedation• Classification-1. Mephenesin group- Mephenesin, Carisoprodol,
Chlorzoxazone2. Benzodiazepine- Diazepam
3. GABA derivative- Baclofen( GABA BRec.), Gabapentin4. Central 2-AR agonist- Tizanidine• Uses- acute muscle spasm, Lumbago, neuralgia, spastic
neurological diseases (stroke, MS, ALS etc.,), Tetanus, ECT, Orthopedic procedures

LOCAL ANAESTHETICS
15
Local Anesthetics - DefinitionLocal Anesthetics - Definition
• Drugs that are applied locally (inj, topical)
• produce transient and reversible loss of nerve conduction (mainly sensory)
• without any loss of consciousness
16
Local Anesthetics Local Anesthetics (LA)- HistoryLocal Anesthetics Local
Anesthetics (LA)- History• Erythroxylum coca-Indigenous plant in South America• 1860 - Niemann isolated cocaine from E.coca• 1884 - Koller - uses cocaine for topical anesthesia-ocular use• 1885 - Halsted - developed the dental nerve block techniques
for dentistry• Sigmund Freud used the stimulant effect of cocaine to treat
the morphine addiction in patients• Freud, Halsted, and Koller became addicted to cocaine• 1898- procaine- first synthetic local anesthetic drug • 1940- the first modern local anesthetic agent - Lignocaine
17
History of local anesthesia
Erythroxylon coca
18
History of local anesthesia
• 1886- Coca-Cola was introduced with Cocaine as one of the ingredient.
19
Esters (t1/2= secs- mins)• Cocaine• Procaine • Chloroprocaine • Tetracaine• Benzocaine- Quick degradation, short DOA- Hydrolysis- plasma and liver ChE- More H.S (PABA)
EsterAromatic Amide Amine
Am”i”des (t1/2 in hrs)• Lignocaine• Bupivacaine• Prilocaine• Ropivacaine• Mepivacaine- Long DOA- N-dealkylation or hydroxylation (CYP450)- Less H.S
Chemical Classification of LA
20
• Low potency / short Duration of action-
- Procaine (t1/2= 1-2hrs)
• Intermediate potency & Duration of action-
- Lignocaine / Prilocaine
• High potency / long Duration of action-
- Bupivacaine / Ropivacaine
Pk. Classification of LA

Local Anesthetics- MOA Voltage operated Na channels (VONa)
• 1 larger subunit has ion conducting path
• 1 or 2 smaller subunits
subunit has 4 domains with 6 membrane spanning regions

Local Anesthetic
Local Anesthetics are VONa channel Blockers

LA binding site on VONa+ channels
TTX- Tetrodotoxin
STX-Saxitoxin from dinoflagellates (red tides).
