| Bioactivity | D-Tubocurarine chloride pentahydrate is the chloride salt form of Tubocurarine, a nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChR) antagonist, and can be used as a skeletal muscle relaxant during surgery or mechanical ventilation. D-Tubocurarine chloride pentahydrate is also a potent neuromuscular blocking agent[1][2][3]. |
| Invitro | Treatment of Caco-2 cells with the AChR antagonist Tubocurarine (10 µM) induces a disorganization of adherents junctions. Buffalo milk-derived products (MBCP) (18 µM) attenuates Tubocurarine AChR antagonist effects on Caco-2 cells adherens junctions[1]. |
