Cisatracurium

Neuromuscular Nondepolarizing Agent, Nicotinic Antagonist, Neuromuscular blocking agent, (close to doxacurium) Cisatracurium is the 1R-cis 1'R-cis isomer of atracurium. Atracurium and Cisatracurium undergo spontaneous non-organ-dependent Hofmann degradation at physiological pH and temperature
