Pharmacology — Key differences for NEET MDS
Esters = metabolized by plasma pseudocholinesterase = procaine. Amides = metabolized in liver = lidocaine. Lidocaine = gold standard LA = 2 percent most common. Onset determined by pKa = lower pKa faster onset. Duration determined by protein binding = higher binding longer duration. Articaine = unique hybrid amide with ester group. Prilocaine = least toxic amide. Bupivacaine = most cardiotoxic.
