Propitocaine HCl Description

Propitocaine hydrochloride is a local anesthetic of the amino amide type first prepared by Claes Tegner and Nils Lö Fgren. In its injectable form, it is often used in dentistry. It is also often combined with lido-caine as a preparation for dermal anesthesia (li-docaine/prilocaine or EMLA), for treatment of conditions like paresthesia. As it has low cardiac toxicity, it is commonly used forintravenous regional anaesthesia.

In some patients, a metabolite of prilocaine may cause the unusual side effect of methemoglobinemia,which may be treated with methylene blue.

Local anesthetic is a substance that causes loss of sensation only to the area to which it is applied without affecting consciousness. Most local anesthetics structures have amino-ester or an amino-amide group which are linked to hydrophilic (secondary or tertiary amine) and to hydrophobic group (aromatics) on the other sid. The ester can be hydrolysed in plasma by the enzyme pseudocholinesterase into para-aminobenzoic acid. Amide is stable for longer acting and more systemic distribution. Ester types include Procaine (Novocain) Chloroprocaine (Nesacaine), Co-caine, Tetracaine (Pontocaine), Benzocaine,Tetracaine. Amide types include Lido-caine (Xylocaine), Mepivacaine(Carbocaine), Prilocaine (Citanest),Bupivacaine (Marcaine), Etidocaine (Duranest).
