Hexafluronium bromide is a neuromuscular blocking agent used in anesthesiology to prolong and potentiate the skeletal muscle relaxing action of suxamethonium during surgery. It is known to bind and block the activity of plasma cholinesterases.

Hexafluronium bromide is a non-competitive reversible inhibitor of human plasma cholinesterase or pseudocholinesterase. Hexafluornium probably binds to anionic side receptors near the active center, causing a conformational change in the enzyme, preventing acylation of the esteratic site. The esteratic site on cholistereases is where acetylcholine is hydrolyzed to acetic acid and choline.
Used as an adjunct with succinylcholine (or suxamethonium chloride) to prolong muscle relaxation and to prevent succinylcholine-induced muscle fasciculations.
