BACKGROUND: We investigated the effects of the -2 adrenoceptor agonists clonidine and dexmedetomidine on the neuromuscular blocking effect of rocuronium in vitro. METHODS: Isometric twitch tensions of rat nerve–hemidiaphragm preparations elicited by indirect (phrenic nerve) supramaximal stimulation at 0.1 Hz were evaluated. RESULTS: Clonidine and dexmedetomidine 50 M (n = 6 each), but not 0.05 M, shifted the rocuronium concentration–twitch tension curves to the left and decreased the rocuronium concentration for 50% twitch depression (IC50) compared with control (n = 9, P < 0.01). The leftward shift induced by clonidine 50 M or dexmedetomidine 50 M was not antagonized by yohimbine 50 M, an -2 adrenoceptor antagonist. Twitch tensions partially depressed by 7 M rocuronium, to about 65% of the control, were further suppressed in a concentration-dependent manner by clonidine (n = 6) and dexmedetomidine (n = 9) at concentrations of 30 M or more (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that very high, but not therapeutic, concentrations of clonidine and dexmedetomidine enhance the neuromuscular blocking action of rocuronium, but this is not mediated by an agonist action on -2 adrenoceptors.
