Preferred Name | prilocaine hydrochloride | |
Synonyms |
Xylonest L-67 2-(propylamino)-o-propionotoluidide hydrochloride Citanest |
|
Definitions |
The hydrochloride salt form of prilocaine, an intermediate-acting local anesthetic of the amide type chemically related to lidocaine. Prilocaine hydrochloride binds to voltage-gated sodium ion channels in the neuronal membrane, thereby preventing the permeability of sodium ions. This leads to a stabilization of the neuronal membrane and inhibits depolarization and results in a reversible blockage of nerve impulse generation and propagation along nerve fibres and subsequent reversible loss of sensation.
