title: Diquaternized curarelike myorelaxants: structure and biological activity.
abstract: This review discusses the most active natural and synthetic curarelike compounds demonstrating myorelaxants activity. The data are grouped according to chemical structures, namely, quinoline and isoquinoline myorelaxants, myorelaxants with saturated heterocyclic or alkylamine fragments, myorelaxants with a steroid framework, natural and synthetic alkaloid myorelaxants.
