na+ channels

PF 04531083 is a selective blocker of the NaV1.8 channel. PF 04531083 can be used for neuropathic and inflammatory pain studies.

Pilsicainide HCl (SUN 1165) is a pure sodium channel blocker

Primidone (NCI-C56360) is a potent anticonvulsant agent. It is a neuronal voltage-gated sodium channel blocker and has value in the study of epilepsy, essential tremor, and psychiatric disorders.

Bupivacaine hydrochloride (Vivacaine) is a long-acting, amide-type local anesthetic. Bupivacaine hydrochloride reversibly binds to specific sodium ion channels in the neuronal membrane, resulting in a decrease in the voltage-dependent membrane permeability to sodium ions and membrane stabilization; inhibition of depolarization and nerve impulse conduction; and a reversible loss of sensation.

Halazone (Pantocid) is fine white powder with an odor of chlorine. It has been widely used to disinfect drinking water.

Vinpocetine (RGH-4405) is a selective inhibitor of cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase (PDE).

Brompheniramine maleate (Dimotane) is an antagonist against histamine H1 receptors.

Riluzole (RP-54274) is a glutamate antagonist (RECEPTORS, GLUTAMATE) used as an anticonvulsant (ANTICONVULSANTS) and to prolong the survival of patients with AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS.

Dibucaine (Cinchocaine), a local anesthetic of the amide type, is now usually used for surface anesthesia.

Dibucaine hydrochloride (Cinchocaine hydrochloride), a long-acting local amide anestheticsis, is usually used for surface anesthesia.

Ropivacaine hydrochloride (Ropivacaine monohydrochloride) is the hydrochloride salt of ropivacaine, a local anesthetic of the amide type with analgesic activity.

Ropivacaine (LEA-103 HCl) is a local anaesthetic drug belonging to the amino amide group.

Oxcarbazepine (GP 47680) is an Anti-epileptic Agent. The physiologic effect of oxcarbazepine is by means of Decreased Central Nervous System Disorganized Electrical Activity.

Lidocaine (Alphacaine) is an amide local anesthetic with anti-inflammatory properties in vitro and in vivo. It has this functions perhaps due to an attenuation of intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), pro-inflammatory cytokines, and reduction of neutrophils influx.

Amitriptyline hydrochloride (Annoyltin) is the hydrochloride salt of the tricyclic dibenzocycloheptadiene amitriptyline with antidepressant and antinociceptive activities.

Lamotrigine (BW430C) is an Anti-epileptic Agent and Mood Stabilizer. The physiologic effect of lamotrigine is by means of Decreased Central Nervous System Disorganized Electrical Activity.

Triamterene is a barosensitive epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) blocker with a diuretic effect. It can also act as an inhibitor of the TGR5 receptor, reducing GLP-1 secretion and cAMP level increases induced by TGR5 activation in a dose-dependent manner.

Diphenidol hydrochloride (Difenidol hydrochloride), a muscarinic antagonist, is employed as an anti-vertigo and as an antiemetic drug.

Propafenone (Propafenonum) is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is an antiarrhythmia agent that is particularly effective in ventricular arrhythmias. It also has weak beta-blocking activity. The drug is generally well tolerated. The electrophysiological effect of propafenone manifests itself in a reduction of upstroke velocity (Phase 0) of the monophasic action potential. In Purkinje fibers, and to a lesser extent myocardial fibers, propafenone reduces the fast inward current carried by sodium ions, which is responsible for the drugs antiarrhythmic actions. Diastolic excitability threshold is increased and effective refractory period prolonged. Propafenone reduces spontaneous automaticity and depresses triggered activity. At very high concentrations in vitro, propafenone can inhibit the slow inward current carried by calcium but this calcium antagonist effect probably does not contribute to antiarrhythmic efficacy.

Benzocaine is a surface anesthetic that acts by preventing transmission of impulses along nerve fibers and at nerve endings.

Phenytoin (5,5-Diphenylhydantoin) is a hydantoin derivative and a non-sedative antiepileptic agent with anticonvulsant activity. It potentially acts by promoting sodium efflux from neurons in the motor cortex, reducing post-tetanic potentiation at synapses. This prevents cortical seizure foci from spreading to adjacent areas and stabilizes the threshold against hyperexcitability. Additionally, it appears to reduce muscle spindle sensitivity to stretch, causing muscle relaxation.

Carbamazepine (NSC-169864) is a tricyclic compound chemically related to tricyclic antidepressants (TCA) with anticonvulsant and analgesic properties. Carbamazepine exerts its anticonvulsant activity by reducing polysynaptic responses and blocking post-tetanic potentiation. Its analgesic activity is not understood; however, carbamazepine is commonly used to treat pain associated with trigeminal neuralgia.

Mepivacaine hydrochloride (Mepivacaine HCl) is the hydrochloride salt form of mepivacaine, an amide derivative with local anesthetic properties.

Mexiletine hydrochloride (KOE-1173 hydrochloride) is a voltage-gated sodium channel blocker and a Class IB antiarrhythmic drug. Mexiletine hydrochloride exerts antiarrhythmic effects by inhibiting sodium current in myocardial cells, thereby reducing the rise rate of cardiac action potential (phase 0) and reducing the automaticity of Purkinje fibers.
