Abstract
This program originally sought to produce three nondepolarizing relaxants: short-, intermediate- and long-acting drugs which at the time (1975)1 were unknown. The proposed compounds are described in Fig 1. Now, twenty years later, much progress has been made, yet there is still room for additional improvement.
