Левобупивакаин HCL CAS:27262-48-2

левобупивакаин (rINN) is a local anaesthetic drug belonging to the amino amide group. It is the S-enantiomer of bupivacaine.The hydrochloride salt of levobupivacaine, an amide derivative with anesthetic property. Levobupivacaine reversibly binds voltage-gated sodium channels to modulate ionic flux and prevent the initiation and transmission of nerve impulses (stabilizing neuronal membrane), thereby resulting in analgesia and anesthesia. In comparison with racemic bupivacaine, левобупивакаин связан с меньшей вазодилатацией и имеет большую продолжительность действия..

Levobupivacaine is an amide-type local anaesthetic. Levobupivacaine acts via blockade of voltage-sensitive ion channels in neuronal membranes, preventing transmission of nerve impulses. Localised and reversible anaesthesia is produced by interference with the opening of the sodium channel, which inhibits conduction of the action potential in nerves involved in sensory and motor activity and sympathetic activity. [1] Levobupivacaine displaces 3H-BTX from sodium channels of rat brain synaptosomes with IC50 of 2.9 μM and Hill coefficients of 1.2. When cell membrane is held at -80 mV, -70 mV, -60 mV or -100 mV, Levobupivacaine shows tonic inhibition of sodium channel in GH3 cells with IC50s of 132.1, 37.6, 21.6 и 264 мкМ, соответственно. [2] Levobupivacaine depresses action potential of isolated axon in vitro.

Levobupivacaine HCl is intended for single use and does not contain preservatives; any solution remaining from an open container should be discarded. For specific techniques and procedures, refer to standard contemporary textbooks. Levobupivacaine Compatibility and Admixtures: Levobupivacaine may not be compatible with alkaline solutions having a pH greater than 8.5. Studies have shown that levobupivacaine is compatible with 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection USP and with saline solutions containing morphine, fentanyl and clonidine. Compatibility studies with other parenteral products have not been studied. Dilution Stability: Levobupivacaine diluted to levobupivacaine 0.625 к 2.5 mg/mL in 0.9% sodium chloride injection is physically and chemically stable when stored in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) bags at ambient room temperature for up to 24 hours. Aseptic technique should be used to prepare the diluted products. Admixtures of levobupivacaine should be prepared for single patient use only and used within 24 hours of preparation. The unused portion of diluted levobupivacaine should be discarded after each use.
