When applied locally to nerve tissue in appropriate concentrations, local anesthetics can act on any part of the nervous system and on every type of nerve fiber, reversibly blocking the action potentials responsible for nerve conduction.

A local anesthetic in contact with a nerve trunk can cause both sensory and motor paralysis in the area innervated. These effects of clinically relevant concentrations of local anesthetics are reversible with recovery of nerve function and no evidence of damage to nerve fibers or cells in most clinical applications.

Local anesthetics bind reversibly to a specific receptor site within the pore of the Na+ channels in nerves and block ion movement through this pore.

Background Knowledge
1. Nerve membrane (Na+,K+ pump)2. Conduction block
![Page 8: Local Anesthetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022083116/577ccd611a28ab9e788c2fbe/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
3. Myelin:Lipid insulating material covering some nervesImpulses travel fast along the myelin to nodes

4. pKa and pH effects: Weak bases Poorly soluble and unstable in water
5. Toxicity: Easy access to the CNS, CNS manifestations of toxicity

Mechanism of Action
Local anesthetics block conduction by decreasing or preventing the large transient increase in the permeability of excitable membranes to Na+ that normally is produced by a slight depolarization of the membrane.
This action is due to direct interaction with voltage-gated Na+ channels.

Two hypothesis
1. Specific receptor hypothesis: local anesthetics diffuse across the cell
membrane, bind to a spefic receptor at the opening of sodium channel
2. Membrane expansion hypothesis: local anesithetics absorbed in the cell
membrane, expanding the membrane and leading to the narrowing of sodium

Pharmacokinetics
Absorption The faster the absorption rate, the shorter
the duration of action, and the greater the potential for systemic toxicity
Vasoconstrictor drug: epinephrine

Pharmacokinetics
Distribution Depend primarily on the volume injected Hyaluronidase: enhance spread of local
anesthetics through tissues

Pharmacokinetics
Metabolism Ester anesthetics: plasma
pseudocholinerase and liver esterase
