Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including http://www.hmdb.ca/metabolites/HMDB15292 | https://www.drugbank.ca/drugs/DB01161

Chloroprocaine (Nesacaine®, Nesacaine®-MPF) is a non pyrogenic local anesthetic. Nesacaine® is indicated for the production of local anesthesia by infiltration and peripheral nerve block. It is not to be used for lumbar or caudal epidural anesthesia. Nesacaine®-MPF is indicated for the production of local anesthesia by infiltration, peripheral and central nerve block, including lumbar and caudal epidural blocks. Nesacaine® and Nesacaine®-MPF are not to be used for subarachnoid administration. Chloroprocaine (Nesacaine®, Nesacaine®-MPF), like other local anesthetics, blocks the generation and the conduction of nerve impulses, presumably by increasing the threshold for electrical excitation in the nerve, by slowing the propagation of the nerve impulse and by reducing the rate of rise of the action potential. It acts mainly by inhibiting sodium influx through voltage gated sodium channels in the neuronal cell membrane of peripheral nerves. When the influx of sodium is interrupted, an action potential cannot arise and signal conduction is thus inhibited.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Use of chloroprocaine declined rapidly after 1980 following reports of prolonged sensory and motor block resulting from unintentional subarachnoid administration of an intended epidural dose.

Approved Use

Nesacaine 1% and 2% Injections, in multidose vials with methylparaben as preservative, are indicated for the production of local anesthesia by infiltration and peripheral nerve block. They are not to be used for lumbar or caudal epidural anesthesia. Nesacaine-MPF 2% and 3% Injections, in single dose vials without preservative and without EDTA, are indicated for the production of local anesthesia by infiltration, peripheral and central nerve block, including lumbar and caudal epidural blocks. Nesacaine and Nesacaine-MPF Injections are not to be used for subarachnoid administration.

Sample Use Guides

Chloroprocaine may be administered as a single injection or continuously through an indwelling catheter. The smallest dose and concentration required to produce the desired result should be used. The maximum single recommended doses of chloroprocaine in adults are: without epinephrine, 11 mg/kg, not to exceed a maximum total dose of 800 mg; with epinephrine (1:200,000), 14 mg/kg, not to exceed a maximum total dose of 1000 mg.
Route of Administration: Intravenous
In Vitro Use Guide
The study was instituted to examine the differential blocking activity of a series of amino-ester agents using an in vitro rabbit vagus nerve preparation. The ED50 (50% depression of the action potential amplitude) of the chloroprocaine hydrochloride were 0.17 mM, 0.20 mM and 0.23 mM for A, B and C fibres, respectively.
