Cisatracurium besilate (INN; cisatracurium besylate (USAN); formerly recognized as 51W89;^[1] trade name Nimbex) is a bisbenzyltetrahydroisoquinolinium that has effect as a neuromuscular-blocking drug non-depolarizing neuromuscular-blocking drugs, used adjunctively in anesthesia to facilitate endotracheal intubation and to provide skeletal muscle relaxation during surgery or mechanical ventilation. It shows intermediate duration of action. Cisatracurium is one of the ten isomers of the parent molecule, atracurium.^[2] Moreover, cisatracurium represents approximately 15% of the atracurium mixture.^[3]
