| contents | Nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs (NDNBs) are clinically used to produce muscle relaxation during general anesthesia. This paper explores a suitable model structure to simultaneously describe in vivo and in vitro effects of three clinically used NDNBs, cisatracurium, vecuronium, and rocuronium. In particular, it is discussed how to reconcile an apparent discrepancy that rocuronium is less potent at inducing muscle relaxation in vivo than predicted from in vitro experiments. We develop a framework for estimating model parameters from published in vivo and in vitro data, and thereby compare the descriptive abilities of several candidate models. It is found that modeling of dynamic effect of activation of acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) is essential for describing in vivo experimental results, and a cyclic gating scheme of AChRs is suggested to be appropriate. Furthermore, it is shown that the above discrepancy in experimental results can be resolved when we consider the fact that the in vivo concentration of ACh is quite low to activate only a part of AChRs, whereas more than 95% of AChRs are activated during in vitro experiments, and that the site-selectivity is smaller for rocuronium than those for cisatracurium and vecuronium. |
