Product Information

• Name: Trimecaine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Trimecaine is a local anesthetic that belongs to the group of esters. It is used in the form of a white or yellowish powder, which is soluble in water. Trimecaine has been shown to inhibit photosynthetic activity and fatty acid synthesis in chloroplasts by blocking the accumulation of acetate from acetyl-CoA. This agent also interacts with the mitochondrial membrane potential and has a strong affinity for creatine kinase, which may be related to its use as an anti-inflammatory medication. Trimecaine can be administered topically as a cream or ointment or injected into joints or tissues. It is also available in oral form, but should be taken with food because it can cause stomach upset if not taken with food.
