Uta Kuepper et al.
Forensic science international, 207(1-3), 84-90 (2010-10-12)
Doubts concerning the applicability of succinylmonocholine (SMC) as a succinylcholine (SUX) marker have been issued. A comparative analysis of previously discussed tissues, i.e. brain, liver and kidney, was conducted to further elucidate this question by searching for diagnostically useful differences
Uta Kuepper et al.
Journal of analytical toxicology, 35(5), 302-311 (2011-05-31)
Intoxications with succinylcholine (SUX) lead to a potentially lethal respiratory paralysis, and forensic cases involving accidental or deliberate SUX-application have been reported. Detection of SUX as well as its metabolite succinylmonocholine (SMC) is difficult: both substances are analytically challenging, and

Journal of mass spectrometry : JMS, 43(10), 1344-1352 (2008-04-29)
A high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous detection of succinylcholine (SUX) and its metabolite succinylmonocholine (SMC) in serum and urine is presented. For internal standardization using isotope dilution, the deuterated compounds SUX-d(18) and SMC-d(3)

Anesthesiology, 57(4), 289-292 (1982-10-01)
The mechanism of bradycardia caused by the administration of succinylcholine has not been fully elucidated. Accordingly, the effects of succinylcholine and succinylmonocholine on the sinoatrial node were studied in 35 mongrel dogs. The sinus node artery was selectively perfused with
Uta Kuepper et al.
International journal of legal medicine, 126(2), 259-269 (2011-09-29)
The muscle relaxant succinylcholine (SUX) evokes respiratory paralysis, and numerous cases of fatal SUX intoxication have been reported. Detection of SUX and its metabolite succinylmonocholine (SMC) is difficult, both due to their (bis-) quaternary structure and the extreme hydrolytic susceptibility
