Chemical compound

Malouetine is an aminosteroid neuromuscular blocking agent and antinicotinic alkaloid isolated from Malouetia spp.^[1]

The structure of malouetine inspired the development of modern aminosteroid muscle relaxants such as pancuronium bromide and vecuronium bromide by workers at Organon.^[2]^[3]^[4]
