Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Bupivacaine is a BK/SK, Kv1, Kv3, TASK-2 K Channel and voltage-gated Na channel blocker used as an anesthetic. It maybe neurotoxic at high does, inducing apoptosis in neuroblastoma cells. It acts by binding to the intracellular portion of voltage-gated sodium channels and blocking sodium influx into nerve cells.

Biological target:
Bupivacaine hydrochloride is a Na+ channel blocker which has local narcotic effect.
In vitro activity:
The in vitro effects of bupivacaine on cartilaginous tumor cells were evaluated. Multiple different cartilaginous tumors were evaluated, including enchondromas, chondroblastomas, a low-grade chondrosarcoma, which were harvested from patients during tumor resection, and a grade-II chondrosarcoma SW1535 (ATCC HTB-94). The tumor cells were treated with 0.25% and 0.5% bupivacaine at various times points, and the result was compared with that of untreated tumor cells. Increasing periods of exposure to bupivacaine decreased the cell viability in all tumor samples. The cytotoxicity of 0.5% bupivacaine was significantly greater than that of 0.25% bupivacaine in all tumor cells tested.

In vivo activity:
The role of Bupivacaine in painful diabetic neuropathy was evaluated. Mouse model with painful diabetic neuropathy was established, and then treated with different concentrations of Bupivacaine. Bupivacaine ameliorated the mechanical allodynia, thermal hyperalgesia, and thermal allodynia in mice with painful diabetic neuropathy, and is more effective at low concentration. Moreover, low concentration of Bupivacaine inhibited inflammation and promoted miR-23a expression in mice with painful diabetic neuropathy and in microglia induced by high glucose.
