Cinchocaine

Anaesthetic agents

Description

Cinchocaine is an amide local anesthetic.Among the most potent and toxicof the local anesthetics , is currently used in spinal and as topical anesthesia.

Mechanism of action

Local anesthetics block both the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses by decreasing the neuronal membrane’s permeability to sodium ions. This reversibly stabilizes the membrane and inhibits depolarization, resulting in the failure of a propagated action potential and subsequent conduction blockade.
