Pancuronium binding by serum proteins.

J M Thompson

    Anaesthesia
    |March 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Pancuronium binds strongly to gamma globulin and moderately to albumin, contrary to previous assumptions. This protein binding significantly limits the amount of active, unbound pancuronium in the body.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Pancuronium is a neuromuscular blocking agent.
    • Its binding to serum proteins was previously uninvestigated.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the binding of pancuronium to serum proteins.
    • To determine the extent of unbound, active pancuronium.

    Main Methods:

    • Experimental evidence was gathered.
    • Binding to specific serum protein fractions (albumin, alpha globulin, beta globulin, gamma globulin) was assessed.

    Main Results:

    • Pancuronium demonstrated strong binding to gamma globulin.
    • Moderate binding was observed with albumin.
    • No binding was detected with alpha or beta globulin fractions.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Less than 13% of a clinical dose remained unbound and active.

    • Conclusions:

    • Pancuronium exhibits significant binding to serum proteins, particularly gamma globulin and albumin.
    • This binding reduces the concentration of free, pharmacologically active pancuronium.
    • Clinical implications for pancuronium dosing and efficacy warrant further consideration.
