Q

DESIRABLE PROPERTIES OF LOCAL ANESTHETICS [11]

A

(1) Non-irritating to tissues
(2) Action must be reversible
(3) Low degree of systemic toxicity
(4) Rapid (short) time of onset
(5) Duration of action must be sufficient or long enough to
permit completion of procedure yet not too long to require
extended recovery
(6) Effective whether injected into tissues or applied locally on
the mucous membrane
(7) Should have potency sufficient to give complete anesthesia
without the use of harmful concentration
(8) Relatively free from producing allergic reactions
(9) Stable in solution
(10) Undergoes biotransformation within the body
(11)Sterile or capable of being sterilized by heat without
undergoing deterioration

AMINO GROUP

T/ F AMINO GROUP is hydrophilic

T

Local Anesthetics should be able to diffuse to the ______. Being weak bases, it has to be combined with acids to form salts. Anesthetic acidic salt is dissolved in sterile water or saline making them injectable fluids.

nerve fiber

other term is dissociation constant of the acidic form of a drug

pKa

pH that will produce an equal number of ionized state (RNH) and the unionized stage (RN+ H+)

pKa

range value is from 7.5 to 9.0

pKa

pKa of Lidocaine

7.7

Percent Base (RN) at pH 7.4 of Lidocaine

FACTORS INVOLVED IN THE ACTION OF LOCAL ANESTHETICS [2]

(1) Diffusion of the local anesthetics through the nerve sheath (2) Binding of the local anesthetic at receptor sites at the nerve membrane

The binding site is inside the channels and drugs have to cross the _____.

lipid-rich membrane

conversion of the water-soluble part of the anesthetic compound into the fat-soluble form

DEPROTONATION

→ tissue alkalinity (7.3 to 7.4) needed → allows anesthetic solution to penetrate the lipid-rich membrane

DEPROTONATION

T/ F DEPROTONATION should be alkaline

T

T/ F DEPROTONATION. As it passes through the nerve membrane, it has to be the lipophilic part . To bind with the receptor sites, it must be the _______ part. Receptor sites close the sodium channels (spiky sites)--an action of nerve conductio

T, hydrophilic

DEPROTONATION.

100 molecules of anesthesia 75% RNH : 25% of RN ↓ Deprotonation of RNH part ↓ Diffuses through nerve membrane ↓ Re-equilibration of RNH to bind at receptor sites ↓ Suppressed nerve conduction

PROPOSED SEQUENCE FOR MECHANISM OF ACTION OF ANESTHESIA [7]

(1) Calcium ions at phospholipid receptor sites are displaced (2) Local anesthetic molecule binds at receptor sites (3) Na channels are blocked (4) Depressed/decrease depolarization (5) Firing potential is not reached (6) Propagated action potential does not develop (7) Block of nerve conduction
