Neuromuscular blocking agents act at the motor end plate by blocking depolarization of the membrane or by competing with acetylcholine for the receptor sites (nondepolarizing). Depolarizing NMBAs bind to cholinergic receptors on the motor endplate, causing initial depolarization on the endplate membrane but then preventing neuromuscular
Depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents, such as succinylcholine, open the AChR ion channels, depolarize the motor endplate, and prevent further neuromuscular transmission. Nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents, such as rocuronium, competitively inhibit ACh from binding to the nAChR, preventing conformation change needed to induce
Neuromuscular blocking agents are muscle relaxants that block Neuromuscular blocking drugs, both depolarizing and nondepolarizing are used.
At this point, full neuromuscular block has been achieved. The prototypical depolarizing blocking drug is succinylcholine (suxamethonium). It is the only such

Neuromuscular blocking drugs act on acetylcholine receptors and fall into two distinct groups: nondepolarizing (competitive) and depolarizing
There are 2 types of neuromuscular blocking agents that work at the neuromuscular junction: depolarizing and non-depolarizing. Depolarizing muscle relaxants act as acetylcholine (ACh) receptor agonists by binding to the ACh receptors of the motor endplate and generating an action potential.
