[PDF] amide or ester local anesthetic

Ester-type local anesthetics are metabolized by plasma pseudocholinesterase and their metabolites are excreted through urine. Amide-type local anesthetics compared to ester-type anesthetics are more commonly used due to their better pharmacokinetic properties and lower incidence of adverse effects [1R].

  • What is the difference between ester and amide local anesthetic?

    Amides are biotransformed in the liver but esters are hydrolyzed in the bloodstream by plasma esterases.
    Ester local anesthetics are no longer packaged in dental cartridges and are used infrequently, with the exception of benzocaine, found in several topical anesthetic preparations.

  • Which local Anaesthetics are esters?

    Ester local anaesthetics include:

    Benzocaine.Chloroprocaine.Cocaine.Procaine.Proparacaine.Tetracaine.Amylocaine.Oxybuprocaine.

  • What is the most important advantage of amide over ester local anesthetics?

    Amino amides are stable in solution, whereas the amino esters are unstable.
    Allergic or hypersensitivity reactions are more likely to occur with amino esters than amino amides.
    Local anesthetics work in the nonionic form.

  • What is the most important advantage of amide over ester local anesthetics?

    An easy way to determine whether an agent is an amide or an ester is to look at the spelling of the generic name.
    Any "-caine" anes- thetic containing the letter i (as in amide) in the prefix is an amide agent (eg, prilocaine).
    The ester agents do not contain ani in the prefix.
