Dibucaine is an amide-type local anesthetic, similar to lidocaine.
- Mechanism of action
Local anesthetics block both the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses by decreasing the neuronal membrane's permeability to sodium ions through sodium channel inhibition. This reversibly stabilizes the membrane and inhibits depolarization, resulting in the failure of a propagated action potential and subsequent conduction blockade.
Target Actions Organism ASodium channel protein type 5 subunit alpha inhibitorHumans ASodium channel protein type 10 subunit alpha inhibitorHumans UCalmodulin inhibitorHumans - Absorption
In general, ionized forms (salts) of local anesthetics are not readily absorbed through intact skin. However, both nonionized (bases) and ionized forms of local anesthetics are readily absorbed through traumatized or abraded skin into the systemic circulation.
