Abstract excerpt
(1) Although the principal pharmacological targets of local anaesthetics (LAs) are voltage-gated Na(+) channels, other targets have also been suggested. Here we examined the effects of LAs on the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, a receptor involved in the process of nociception. (2) LAs (bupivacaine, lidocaine, procaine, and tetracaine) reversibly and concentration-dependently inhibited recombinant...
