Depolarizing agents, eg succinylcholine, cause a prolonged depolarization of the motor end plate. Nondepolarizing agents, eg pancuronium, are competitive inhibitors of acetylcholine at the motor end plate See Depolarizing agent, Nondepolarizing agent. mus·cle re·lax·ant (mŭsĕl rĕ-laksănt) Drug able to reduce muscle tone; may be either a peripherally acting muscle relaxant or act centrally acting. mus·cle re·lax·ant (mŭsĕl rĕ-laksănt) Drug with capacity to reduce muscle tone; may be either a peripherally acting muscle relaxant such as curare and act to produce blockade at the neuromuscular junction (and thus useful in surgery), or act as a centrally acting muscle relaxant exerting its effects within the brain and spinal cord to diminish muscle tone (and thus useful in muscle spasm or spasticity). muscle relaxant
