Block Na+ channels by binding to specific receptors on inner portion of channel. Preferentially bind to activated Na+ channels - therefore most effective in rapidly firing neurons.
Tertiary amine local anesthetics penetrate membrane in uncharged form, then bind ions as charged form
Local anesthetics (both esters and imides): Principles
- can be given with what?
- in infected/acidic tissue, what occurs?
Can be given with vasoconstrictors (usually epi) to enhance local action. decreases bleeding, increases anesthesia by decreasing systemic concentration.
-In infected/acidic tissue, alkaline anesthetics are charged and cannot penetrate membrane effectively –> need more anesthetic.
Local anesthetics (both esters and imides): Principles
-what is the order of nerve blockade?
-Order of nerve blockade:
small-diameter fibers > large diameter.
myelinated > unmyelinated.
Overall, size factor predominates over myelination such that small myelinated fibers > small unmyelinated fibers > large myelinated fibers > large unmyelinated fibers.
Local anesthetics (both esters and imides): Principles

Order of sensory loss:
(1) pain (2) temp (3) touch (4) pressure
(pain/temp are carried by ALS/STT neurons; unmyelinated. touch/pressure carried by DC-ML neurons; myelinated)

L-dopa/carbidopa: Mech?
Use?
Tox?
Mech: incr level of dopamine in brain. Unlike dopamine, L-dopa can cross the BBB and is converted by dopa decarboxylase in the CNS to dopamine. Carbidopa, a peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor, is given with L-dopa to increase the bioavailability of L-dopa in the brain and to limit peripheral side effects
Use: Parkinson’s
Tox: Arrythmias from increased peripheral formation of catecholamines. Long term use can lead to dyskinesia following administration (on-off phenomenon), akinesia between doses.
