Preferred Name | mepivacaine hydrochloride | |
Synonyms |
1-methyl-2',6'-pipecoloxylidide hydrochloride (SY), (1-methyl-DL-piperidine-2-carboxylic acid)-2,6-dimethylanilide hydrochloride Carbocaine Polocaine |
|
Definitions |
The hydrochloride salt form of mepivacaine, an amide-type local anesthetic agent. At the injection site, mepivacaine binds to specific voltage-gated sodium ion channels in neuronal cell membranes, which inhibits both sodium influx and membrane depolarization. This leads to a blockage of nerve impulse initiation and conduction and results in a reversible loss of sensation. Compared to other local anesthetics, this agent has a more rapid onset and moderate duration of action. Check for "https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/clinical-trials/intervention/C47602" active clinical trials using this agent.
