TRPV1-Mediated Delivery of Chloroprocaine, a Local Anesthetic with High pKa, Produces Pain-Selective Anesthesia Without Neurotoxicity

Yishai Kushnir, Penker Sapir, Shaya Lev, Alexander M. Binshtok

This study shows that chloroprocaine, a high-pKa local anesthetic, when delivered via TRPV1 channels, provides prolonged pain-selective anesthesia without neurotoxicity.
