d-Tubocurarine is given by i. v. injection (average dose approx. 10 mg). It binds to the endplate nicotinic cholinoceptors without exciting them, acting as a competitive antagonist towards ACh. By preventing the binding of released ACh, it blocks neuromuscular transmission. Muscular paralysis develops within about 4 min. d-Tubocurarine does not penetrate into the CNS.
