CAS 96-88-8: Mepivacaine
Description:Mepivacaine is a local anesthetic belonging to the amide class, primarily used for its analgesic properties in medical and dental procedures. It is characterized by its ability to block nerve conduction by inhibiting sodium ion influx through voltage-gated sodium channels, thereby preventing the initiation and propagation of nerve impulses. Mepivacaine is typically administered via injection and is known for its relatively rapid onset of action and moderate duration of effect compared to other local anesthetics. Its chemical structure includes a piperidine ring, which contributes to its lipophilicity, enhancing its potency and effectiveness. Mepivacaine is less vasodilatory than some other local anesthetics, which can lead to a reduced need for vasoconstrictors in formulations. It is generally well-tolerated, though potential side effects may include local irritation, allergic reactions, or systemic toxicity if administered improperly. The substance is classified under the CAS number 96-88-8, and its use is regulated in many countries due to its pharmacological effects.
