Tubocurarine, dimethyltubocurarine, gallamine and n-C10H21NMe3 have been applied iontophoretically to the end-plate region of frog skeletal muscle fibers. The rate of action of these drugs has been measured by testing the endplate with iontophoretically-applied doses of carbachol. All drugs used act rapidly and behave as if access to the receptor is rate-limiting. Thus no experimental support was obtained for a kinetic model of drug action.
