QUICK LINKS

Succinylcholine Chloride, a quaternary ammonium compound, acts as a depolarizing agent. By binding to nicotinic receptors at the neuromuscular junction and opening ligand-gated channels like acetylcholine, it induces depolarization, inhibits neuromuscular transmission, and results in disorganized muscle contraction, followed by skeletal muscle relaxation and flaccid paralysis. The resistance of succinylcholine to acetylcholinesterases prolongs the depolarization process.
