 Local anesthetics are drugs which reversibly
prevent the generation & propagation of active
potentials in all excitable membranes including
nerve fibers by stabilizing the membranes.
 Local Anesthetics are used to abolish the sensation
of pain in a restricted area of the body and for minor
surgical operations, when loss of consciousness is
not desired.
Purushotham KN, SACCP, ACU.

 The area determined by the site and the technique of administration of
anesthetic agents.
The main uses are as follows:
 Surface / Topical anesthetics
Local anesthesia is applied to Mucous Membrane.
Ex: Larynx, Damaged skin surface
 Infiltration anesthetics
Local anesthesia is injected subcutaneously to paralyze the sensory nerve
ending
Ex: an area to be incised, Tooth extraction.
 Nerve block anesthesia
Local anesthesia is injected close to the nerve trunk.
 Cavdal anesthesia
Local anesthetic into the caudal canal, the sacral portion of the spinal canal.
 Epidural anesthesia
Anesthesia that creates a band of numbness from your bellybutton to your upper
legs.
 Spinal anesthesia

 Aryl group
 An aryl radical attached directly to the carbonyl results
into a conjugation which in terms enhances local
anesthetic activity.
 The aryl substituents which increase the electron
density of the carbonyl oxygen & enhances activity.
Eg: alkoxy/ amino/ alkylamino at ortho or para
position.

 Bridge ‘X’
 The X may be carbon, nitrogen, oxygen or sulphur.
 The nature of ‘X’ affects duration of action and
relative toxicity.
 Amino alkyl group
 The amino group is considered as the hydrophilic
part of the molecule. The activity decreases the
irritation property increases in following order.
Primary < secondary < Tertiary Amine
 The alkyl position only influence the lipid solubility.

SAR of Local Anesthetics containing an amide linkage
Aryl group
The alkyl substitution at ortho/ para position, enhances the activity.
It provides steric hindrance to the hydrolysis of the amide linkage and
contributes to the lipid solubility of molecule
Substituent ‘X’
In general ‘X’ May be Carbon – Isogramine
Oxygen – Lidocaine
Nitrogen – Phenacaine
Amino alkyl group
The nature and its relative contribution to activity is same as in the
compounds containing an ester linkage.
