  <class>SmallMolecule</class>
  <description>Vecuronium belongs to the steroid esters, a subclass of steroids and steroid derivatives within the organic compounds. With an average molecular weight of 557.84 g/mol, Vecuronium is a heavy molecule with the chemical formula C34H57N2O4. It is classified within the superclass of lipids and lipid-like molecules.

The compound is found in or released from four recorded sources, including muscle relaxants in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and veterinary products, as well as electrically stimulated smoking devices and household cleaning and consumer products such as cigarettes, cigars, and other smoking requisites. The recorded exposure route for this substance is intravenous. In terms of biological activity, Vecuronium acts as an antagonist of the neuronal acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha-2 (CHRNA2), which is its single recorded protein target.</description>
