Product Description
Mechanism of action
Bupivacaine is a long-acting amide-type local anaesthetic that blocks voltage-gated sodium channels in sensory and motor neurons, preventing action-potential propagation. It has high lipid solubility and strong receptor affinity, producing profound and prolonged nerve blockade.
Benefits and advantages
Widely used in anaesthetic research, nociception models, sodium-channel biophysics studies, spinal-anaesthesia investigations, and comparative long-acting anaesthetic SAR profiling.
Side effects and risks
Risks include cardiotoxicity (arrhythmias, conduction block), CNS toxicity (seizures), respiratory depression and local tissue irritation. Handle with extreme care as a potent local anaesthetic.
