Current pharmaceutical design - 1 Jan 2005
Fozzard H A, Lee P J, Lipkind G M
Abstract excerpt
Local anesthetic drugs interfere with excitation and conduction by action potentials in the nervous system and in the heart by blockade of the voltage-gated Na channel. Drug affinity varies with gating state of the channel. The drugs show low affinity at slow excitation rates, but high affinity w...
