Fagerlund MJ et al. - This study demonstrates that nondepolarizing NMBAs inhibit human adult muscle nAChRs expressed in Xenopus oocytes by mixed mechanisms. When using the nondesensitizing agonist dimethylphenylpiperazinium, inhibition by the NMBA is competitive, whereas activation with high concentrations of acetylcholine in combination with NMBA induces a noncompetitive inhibition, which the authors speculate can involve receptor desensitization similar to that observed in the neuromuscular junction.
