N-ETHYLLIDOCAINE BROMIDE

Uses

QX-314 bromide is a derivative of Lidocaine. It is a local anesthetic.

Biological Activity

qx 314 bromide is a positively charged, membrane-impermeable quaternary lidocaine derivative [1][2][3][4].qx 314 bromide is a local anesthetic. in cal pyramidal neurons of the guinea-pig hippocampal slice, qx 314 bromide blocked both na+ dependent action potentials and the voltage-dependent, non-inactivating na+ conductance [1]. in xenopus laevis oocytes expressed trpv1 and trpv4 channels, qx 314 bromide (10, 30, and 60 mm) activated trpv1 channels, but not trpv4 channels. qx 314 bromide at lower concentrations (less than 1mm) potently inhibited capsaicin-evoked trpv1 currents with ic50 value of 8.0 μm. in trpv1-expressing tsa201 cells, qx 314 bromide induced transient increase in cytoplasmic ca2+ [2]. in large-diameter human drg neurons, flagellin/qx 314 bromide inhibited sodium currents [3].in three standard local anesthetic animal models, qx 314 bromide reversibly and concentration-dependently induced long-lasting local anesthesia with a slow onset [4]. intraplantar co-application of flagellin/qx 314 bromide inhibited mechanical allodynia after nerve injury, chemotherapy and diabetic neuropathy in a dose-dependent way. in naive and chemotherapy-treated mice, co-application of flagellin/qx 314 bromide selectively inhibited aβ-fiber conduction [3].
