Local anesthetic blocks nerve conduction to prevent pain signals from reaching the brain, allowing minor surgeries to be done without pain. General anesthesia affects the entire body and leads to unconsciousness, while local anesthesia targets specific areas, making it safer for patients with poor health.
Insights
- Local anesthetics like Lidocaine and Procaine stop nerve conduction in a specific area, preventing pain signals from reaching the brain, allowing minor surgeries to be performed without pain.
- The lecture extensively covers the structure-activity relationship of local anesthetics, emphasizing the importance of lipophilic aryl groups and hydrophilic amino alkyl groups in their effectiveness, with specific syntheses like Benzocaine, Procaine, and Dibene highlighted in the syllabus.
