Beschreibung

Tetracaine is a local anesthetic that causes reversible paralysis of the muscles. It also has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects and to inhibit the production of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins. Tetracaine is used for anesthesia, particularly in ophthalmic surgery, because it does not cause significant vasoconstriction. Tetracaine has been shown to be effective in treating infectious diseases including HIV and malaria. Tetracaine is also used during blood sampling to prevent pain associated with venipuncture. Benzalkonium chloride (BAC), which is often used as an antiseptic, can increase the absorption of tetracaine by cells, making it more potent. This drug also inhibits calcium uptake in cells through its interaction with α1-acid glycoprotein and cytosolic calcium levels. The matrix effect can be used to study the pharmacokinetics of tetracaine by using isotonic solutions with high viscosity or low viscosity.
