European Medicines Agency schedules Alcuronium chloride in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB05302MIG. Alcuronium chloride generally arises in the molecular formula C44H50N4O2.2CL.

The term ALCURONIUM CHLORIDE is an International Non-Proprietary Name or INN (see World Health Organization INN reference publication, Volume 21 no. 12 1967, list 7.)

Alcuronium chloride bears US NLM identifiers UMLS ID C0205658 and NCI Concept Code C79728.

UNSPSC 51152049 Alcuronium chloride is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it does not reflect pharmaceutical anesthetic compounds. Instead, the code is being applied to opioid-overdose emergency response and drug-disposal procurement — specifically, naloxone (Narcan) and safe drug deactivation systems for community health programs. State and local governments use this code designation to source life-safety pharmaceutical supplies and equipment, though the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being procured suggests either a classification error in the posting or a broader interpretation of the code's application than its technical name implies.

Seminole County, Florida has posted the single recent opportunity under this code: an IFB (IFB60459723LAS) released June 30, 2026, for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually, with quarterly delivery to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, Florida. The contract carries a two-year initial term with a one-year renewal option, and bidders must include all shipping and delivery costs in their proposals. The procurement does not include explicit set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, requires E-Verify compliance and drug-free workplace certification, and carries a three-month probationary period. FEMA funding is a potential source, triggering federal environmental-compliance requirements. Geographic activity under this code is limited to Florida based on recent postings, and the issuing body is a single county health administration. The infrequency of opportunities under this code and the narrow geographic footprint suggest limited near-term pipeline activity in state and local procurement for this commodity classification.
