We studied kinetic parameters of interaction of local anesthetics (lidocaine, tetracaine, bupivacaine, and two novel agents with proved local anesthetic potency RU-353 and RU-1117) with human serum albumin. Complexation of local anesthetics with human serum albumin is a time-dependent and reversible process; equilibrium was attained within 1.5-4.5 h depending on chemical nature of local anesthetics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
