Articaine
Articaine (Hoe-045) is a selective inhibitor of voltage-gated sodium channels (such as rNav1.4, hNav1.7, and rNav1.8), with an IC50 of 15.8 μM for open-state Na+ channels, and IC50 of 40.6 μM and 378 μM for inactivated and resting-state Na+ channels, respectively. Articaine exerts local anesthetic activity by inhibiting Na+ influx to block nerve impulse conduction, and can also inhibit NF-κB activation and NLRP3 inflammasome pathways, exhibiting anti-inflammatory function. Articaine can be used in the study of dental local anesthesia and inflammatory-related diseases (such as acute kidney injury).

Biological Activity

NLRP3 |
Articaine (0.5 mM, 1 mM; immersion for 1 h) can enhance the anesthetic effect in the zebrafish model, inhibiting the tactile response rate by 100% and reducing the heart rate by 60%. In combination with nanolipid carriers (NLCs), it can prolong the duration of anesthesia[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model:Swiss albino mice with LPS-induced acute kidney injury model[2]
-
Dosage:20 mg/kg, 40 mg/kg
-
Administration:Intraperitoneal injection; single dose
-
Result:Reduced serum BUN, creatinine, and cystatin C levels, alleviated renal histopathological damage, inhibited production of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, and reduced MDA levels while increasing SOD and GSH activities.
Suppressed NF-κB activation, TLR4 expression, and NLRP3 inflammasome pathway, and restored Bcl-2/Bax ratio.
