short-duration

Atracurium besylate (51W89) is a non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent with short duration of action. Its lack of significant cardiovascular effects and its lack of dependence on good kidney function for elimination provide clinical advantage over alternate non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents.

Fluorogestone acetate shows high potency with a short duration of activity and is physiologically similar to progesterone. FGA is approximately 20-25 times more potent than progesterone.

Tribromoethyl alcohol (Avertin) is an organic compound used to anesthetize mice.

Tropicamide (Ro 1-7683) is a synthetic muscarinic antagonist with anticholinergic properties similar to atropine. Upon ocular administration, it binds to and blocks muscarinic receptors in the sphincter and ciliary muscles, inhibiting cholinergic responses and causing pupil dilation and ciliary muscle paralysis. Tropicamide is used as a diagnostic agent to induce short-duration mydriasis and cycloplegia.

Mephenesin (Cresoxydiol) is a centrally acting muscle relaxant with a short duration of action.

Mivacurium dichloride (Mivacurium chloride) is a non-depolarising, rapid neuromuscular blocker of short duration, used therefore as anesthetic, to provide skeletal muscle relaxation in minor surgical operations, in emergency surgical procedures of short to intermediate duration and during intubation of the trachea.

Procaine (Vitamin H3) is a local anesthetic of the ester type that has a slow onset and a short duration of action. It is mainly used for infiltration anesthesia, peripheral nerve block, and spinal block.

Hydrocortisone phosphate (sodium) (Hydrocortisone 21-phosphate (sodium)) is a soft steroid with a weak anti-inflammatory effect and a short duration of action that can be used to study several eye diseases and gastric ulcers.
