Reaction of Local Anesthetics with Phospholipids
نویسنده
چکیده
Local anesthetics (LA) have been found to interact with phospholipids and lipids extracted from nerve and muscle. This reaction is demonstrated by: (a) Inhibition by LA of phospholipid (and tissue lipid) facilitated transport of calcium from a methanol: water phase into chloroform. This action is dependent upon the cationic form of the LA. (b) LA increase the electrical resistance of "membranes" prepared by impregnating Millipore filters with cephalin:cholesterol or tissue lipid extracts and bathed with NaCl or KCl solutions. (c) LA coagulate aqueous dispersions of cephalin, phosphatidyl serine, phosphatidyl ethanolamine, and inositide, an action shared by calcium. The order of potency in coagulating cephalin sols is tetracaine > calcium > butacaine > procaine. Na(+) and K(+) do not coagulate phospholipid dispersions at 0.1 M concentration and antagonize the effect of Ca(2+). (d) LA produce a marked fall in the pH of cephalin sols equivalent to that produced by calcium, (e) Ca(2+) and LA form 1:2 molar complexes with phospholipids probably by ion-ion and ion-induced polar type of binding at the phosphate groups of the lipid. It is suggested that such reactions with cell membrane phospholipids may underlie inhibitory effects of LA on cellular ion fluxes and provide a chemical basis for anesthetic action.

Comparison of the effects of carbisocaine and other local anesthetics on 32P incorporation into individual and total phospholipids in synaptosomes.
The aim of the paper was to study the effect of carbisocaine, a new local anesthetic with high liposolubility on incorporation of 32P into individual and total phospholipids and to compare its effect with that of other local anesthetics (procaine, lidocaine, cinchocaine, heptacaine). Carbisocaine decreased 32P incorporation into neutral phospholipids and increased the incorporation into acid ph...
متن کاملThe effect of nifedipine and baclofen on spinal anesthesia induced by local anesthetics
The primary mode of action of local anesthetics is through sodium channel and axonal conduction blockade. Local anesthetics have also extensive effects on pre-synaptic calcium channels that must function to stimulate the release of neurotransmitters. Thus, interference with calcium channel conductance may enhance spinal anesthesia with local anesthetics. The present study was designed to invest...

متن کاملInteraction of Local Anesthetics with Biomembranes Consisting of Phospholipids and Cholesterol: Mechanistic and Clinical Implications for Anesthetic and Cardiotoxic Effects
Despite a long history in medical and dental application, the molecular mechanism and precise site of action are still arguable for local anesthetics. Their effects are considered to be induced by acting on functional proteins, on membrane lipids, or on both. Local anesthetics primarily interact with sodium channels embedded in cell membranes to reduce the excitability of nerve cells and cardio...

Background: We report a case with apparent resistance to local anesthetics. While regional anesthetics failure are often attributed to technical failure, the clinical presentation and medical history of this patient suggests a true resistance to local anesthetics. Case report: A 28 years old man was scheduled for elective orthopedic surgery for right sided tibial bone fracture, and decision of...
