Cisatracurium is a non-depolarizing neuromuscular junction (NMJ) blocker; it binds the α-δ interface of postsynaptic nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). Cisatracurium acts as a skeletal muscle relaxant and is an isomer of parent compound atracurium. Cisatracurium also suppresses atrial fibrillation and prevents action potential shortening in vivo, indicating additional inhibition of M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) in the atrium.
