The type of reaction to neostigmine in patients with neuromuscular disease is unpredictable. Long-lasting muscle weakness was produced in a 57-yr-old female with dystrophia myotonica. A 50-yr-old male with a 30-yr history of progressive muscle dystrophy exhibited a tonic response to neostigmine during recovery from partial neuromuscular block.

Neostigmine is used for the symptomatic treatment of myasthenia gravis by improving muscle tone.
Neostigmine is a cholinesterase inhibitor used in the treatment of myasthenia gravis and to reverse the effects of muscle relaxants such as gallamine and tubocurarine. Neostigmine, unlike physostigmine, does not cross the blood-brain barrier. By inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, more acetylcholine is available in the synapse, therefore, more of it can bind to the fewer receptors present in myasthenia gravis and can better trigger muscular contraction.
Cholinesterase Inhibitors
Drugs that inhibit cholinesterases. The neurotransmitter ACETYLCHOLINE is rapidly hydrolyzed, and thereby inactivated, by cholinesterases. When cholinesterases are inhibited, the action of endogenously released acetylcholine at cholinergic synapses is potentiated. Cholinesterase inhibitors are widely used clinically for their potentiation of cholinergic inputs to the gastrointestinal tract and urinary bladder, the eye, and skeletal muscles; they are also used for their effects on the heart and the central nervous system. (See all compounds classified as Cholinesterase Inhibitors.)
Parasympathomimetics
Drugs that mimic the effects of parasympathetic nervous system activity. Included here are drugs that directly stimulate muscarinic receptors and drugs that potentiate cholinergic activity, usually by slowing the breakdown of acetylcholine (CHOLINESTERASE INHIBITORS). Drugs that stimulate both sympathetic and parasympathetic postganglionic neurons (GANGLIONIC STIMULANTS) are not included here. (See all compounds classified as Parasympathomimetics.)

The pharmacokinetics of neostigmine in patients with normal renal function were determined and compared with those of patients undergoing renal transplantation or bilateral nephrectomy. Ten to 15 min prior to the end of operation and anesthesia, d-tubocurarine infusion was terminated and neostigmine, 0.07 mg/kg and atropine 0.03 mg/kg were given by infusion over a 2-min period. In anephric patients the elimination half-life was prolonged. Total serum clearance was decr from 16.7 ml/kg/min in patients with normal renal function to 7.8 ml/kg/min in anephric patients. Neostigmine pharmacokinetics following renal transplantation were not different from those in patients with normal renal function. Renal excretion accounts for 50% of neostigmine clearance.

The half-life ranged from 42 to 60 minutes with a mean half-life of 52 minutes.
The pharmacokinetics of neostigmine was evaluated in man after iv and oral admin. The mean plasma T/2 for neostigmine after iv admin was 0.89 hr. Following oral admin peak concn occurred 1-2 hr after intake, but biol availability was only 1-2% of the admin dose. In patients with myasthenia gravis, the decrement of the evoked electric muscle response of repetitive nerve stimulation correlated well with plasma concn of neostigmine.

Neostigmine is a parasympathomimetic, specifically, a reversible cholinesterase inhibitor. The drug inhibits acetylcholinesterase which is responsible for the degredation of acetylcholine. So, with acetylcholinesterase inhibited, more acetylcholine is present By interfering with the breakdown of acetylcholine, neostigmine indirectly stimulates both nicotinic and muscarinic receptors which are involved in muscle contraction.. It does not cross the blood-brain barrier.

Neostigmine increased both miniature end-plate potential and end-plate potential amplitudes but did not affect quantal content in isolated frog sciatic nerve-Sartorius muscle prepn. This suggests that cholinesterase inhibition was the only effect.

Long term (24-96 hr) treatment of a mouse-derived myogenic cell line (G8) with neostigmine markedly reduced binding of alpha-bungarotoxin (alpha-BuTx) to these cells. Protein synthesis in these cultures was markedly reduced and cell morphology degenerated. Myotubes maintained slightly hyperpolarized resting membrane potentials, and were able to respond to iontophoretic acetylcholine (Ach) application with overshooting action potentials. Degenerative changes at the neuromuscular junction associated with chronic neostigmine treatment in vivo are probably due to a direct action of the anticholinesterase on the muscle, rather than to altered intracleft ACh levels or to presynaptic effects of the anticholinesterase.

The intraluminal probe mounted with 2 electrode-strain gauge pairs, 4 cm apart, was used to study the effect of a neutral interview, a stressful interview, a meal (478.7 cal) and neostigmine (0.5 mg, im) on the contractile electrical complex, continuous electrical response activity and their associated contractions in 17 normal subjects. Neostigmine resulted in an incr in contractile electric complex & continuous electric response activity indexes 5-10 and 25-30 min after the injection, respectively. Both the meal and neostigmine incr the percentage of propagated contractile electric complexes during all of the recording periods.
