Definition |
ChEBI: The monohydrochloride salt of prilocaine. |
Brand name |
Citanest (AstraZeneca). |
Biological Functions |
Prilocaine hydrochloride (Citanest) is an amide anesthetic whose onset of action is slightly longer than that of lidocaine; its duration of action is comparable. Prilocaine is 40% less toxic acutely than lidocaine, making it especially suitable for regional anesthetic techniques. It is metabolized by the liver to orthotoluidine, which when it accumulates, can cause conversion of hemoglobin (HB+++ to methemoglobin (HB+++. Oxygen transport is impaired in the presence of methemoglobinemia. Treatment involves the use of reducing agents, such as methylene blue, given intravenously, to reconvert methemoglobin to hemoglobin. |
Contact allergens |
Prilocaine in a local anesthetic of the amide group. It can induce allergic contact dermatitis, particularly from EMLA? cream. |
