Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aims to develop an ultra-short-acting non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drug by creating new compounds and testing their effects using small animals. First, we revealed that the non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drug rocuronium delays emergence from general anesthesia in a dose-dependent manner in rats. This possibly results from the direct action of intravenously administered rocuronium on the central nervous system, a side effect of neuromuscular blocking drugs that had not been sufficiently understood before. These findings were published in a journal. Considering these new findings, the chemical formulas of our original compounds were reviewed, and new compounds were subsequently synthesized. It was demonstrated that these new compounds have neuromuscular blocking potency and a short duration of action in rats. They were determined to possess novelty and inventiveness, leading to a patent application.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
特許申請に至った新規筋弛緩薬は、作用の発現が速やかで、効果の制御が容易であり、拮抗薬なしに急速に回復し、蓄積作用がなく、有害作用もない(安全域が広い)などの特徴を備える可能性があり、全身麻酔の簡便性を高め、周術期の安全性向上に寄与することが期待される。また、筋弛緩薬が中枢神経に直接影響を与える可能性を示した知見は、新薬開発において考慮すべき重要な因子を追加する成果となった。
