Calabadions are heterocyclics molecule that offers rapid and complete reversal of both aminosteroids, such as rocuronium and vecuronium, and benzylisoquinoline NMBDS, such as atracurium and cisatracurium.
Notably, calabadion 2 binds rocuronium 89 times stronger than sugammadex. Additionally it also binds etomidate and ketamine.
Calabadions are still undergoing pre-human animal testing, and so are some time away from entering clinical practice.

Comparative Study
Comparative Effectiveness of Calabadion and Sugammadex to Reverse Non-depolarizing Neuromuscular-blocking Agents.
The authors evaluated the comparative effectiveness of calabadion 2 to reverse non-depolarizing neuromuscular-blocking agents (NMBAs) by binding and inactivation. ⋯ Calabadion 2 reverses NMB induced by benzylisoquinolines and steroidal NMBAs in rats more effectively, i.e., faster than sugammadex. Calabadion 2 is eliminated in the urine and well tolerated in rats.

Calabadion 2 is a new drug-encapsulating agent. In this study, the authors aim to assess its utility as an agent to reverse general anesthesia with etomidate and ketamine and facilitate recovery. ⋯ Calabadion 2 reverses etomidate and ketamine anesthesia in rats by chemical encapsulation at nontoxic concentrations.

ReviewNew Drug Developments for Neuromuscular Blockade and Reversal: Gantacurium, CW002, CW011, and Calabadion.
The purpose of this chapter is to provide a brief review of the literature on the recent developments in neuromuscular blockade and reversal agents. ⋯ Recent advancements in neuromuscular blocking agents and reversal drugs have shown promise in improving safety of management of neuromuscular blockade. Preclinical and clinical studies are discussed. However, to date these new drugs are not yet available for clinical use.
