Main function of local anesthetics
Temporary interruption of all sensations over a specific area of the anatomy without loss of consciousness
Component of local anesthetics that enables penetration of nerve fibers.
Lipophilic component; attracted to clear lipids such as the phospholipid bilayer covering of nerves
Component of local anesthetics that allow for the diffusion of the drug through interstitial tissues
Hydrophilic component
Prototype of ester type of LA
Procaine
Prototype of amide type of LA
Lidocaine
Enzyme responsible for metabolism of ester type of LA and where is it found
Plasma pseudocholinesterase; in plasma
Enzyme responsible for metabolism of amide type of LA and where is it found

LA that is/are metabolized in both plasma and liver
