Ethacrynic acid, a diuretic, functions as an inhibitor of L-type voltage-dependent and store-operated calcium channels, facilitating the relaxation of airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells. It exhibits anti-inflammatory effects, notably reducing retinoid-induced ear edema in mice, and inhibits glutathione S-transferases (GSTs), making it a potent suppressor of the NF-kB signaling pathway. Additionally, ethacrynic acid modulates leukotriene formation. A variant, Ethacrynic acid D5, is distinguished by its deuterium labeling.
Laudexium is a neuromuscular blocking drug or skeletal muscle relaxant in the category of non-depolarizing neuromuscular-blocking drugs. It is used adjunctively in surgical anesthesia to facilitate endotracheal intubation and to provide skeletal muscle re
Laudexium methylsulfate is a neuromuscular blocking drug or skeletal muscle relaxant. It is used adjunctively in surgical anesthesia to facilitate endotracheal intubation and to provide skeletal musclerelaxation during surgery or mechanical ventilation.
