Abstract excerpt
Local anesthetics (LAs) block Na(+) channels with a higher affinity for the fast or slow inactivated state of the channel. Their binding to the channel may stabilize fast inactivation or induce slow inactivation. We examined the role of the LA binding sites on domain IV, S6 (IVS6) of Na(+) channels in fast and slow inactivation by studying the gating properties of the mutants on IVS6 affecting LA binding....
