Levobupivacaine is an amino-amide local anaesthetic drug belonging to the family of n-alkylsubstituted pipecoloxylidide. It is the S-enantiomer of bupivacaine. Levobupivacaine hydrochloride is commonly marketed by AstraZeneca under the trade name Chirocaine. Compared to bupivacaine, levobupivacaine is associated with less vasodilation and has a longer duration of action. It is approximately 13 per cent less potent (by molarity) than racemic bupivacaine.Levobupivacaine is indicated for local anaesthesia including infiltration, nerve block, ophthalmic, epidural and intrathecal anaesthesia in adults; and infiltration analgesia in children. Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are rare when it is administered correctly. Most ADRs relate to administration technique (resulting in systemic exposure) or pharmacological effects of anesthesia, however allergic reactions can rarely occur.

Arachidoyl ethanolamide, a saturated fatty acyl ethanolamide lacking classical (CB1/CB2) activity, plays a role in a complex system comprising central cannabinoid (CB1), peripheral cannabinoid (CB2), and non-CB receptor-mediated pharmacology. This system has paved the way for extensive research in diverse fields such as memory, weight loss and appetite, neurodegeneration, tumor surveillance, analgesia, and inflammation. Unlike other compounds, Arachidoyl ethanolamide does not bind to the murine CB1 receptor nor does it compete with anandamide for the fatty acid amide hydrolase, the endocannabinoid hydrolytic enzyme. The non-CB receptor-mediated actions of saturated ethanolamides like Arachidoyl ethanolamide are currently under investigation.

Fadolmidine, also known as MPV-2426, is a novel and potent alpha2 -adrenoceptor (alpha2) -AR) agonist developed for spinal analgesia. Fadolmidine displayed high affinity and full agonist efficacy at all three human alpha2-adrenoceptor subtypes (A, B and C) in transfected CHO cells with EC50 values (nM) of 0.4, 4.9 and 0.5, respectively.

Agonism at the alpha1-adrenoceptor was also observed in rat vas deferens preparations although at lower potency (EC50 value 5.6 microM). Fadolmidine demonstrated potent alpha2-adrenoceptor agonist activity also in vivo by inhibiting electrically induced tachycardia i......

URB754 is a potent and noncompetitive inhibitor of monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL), exhibiting an IC50 value of 200 nM for the recombinant rat brain enzyme. However, it does not inhibit human recombinant, rat brain, or mouse brain MAGL at concentrations up to 100 μM. There is evidence that the MAGL inhibitory activity of URB754 may be attributed to the impurity bis(methylthio)mercurane (IC50 = 11.9 nM for rat recombinant MAGL) that is found in commercial preparations. URB754 inhibits rat brain fatty acyl amide hydrolase (FAAH) with an IC50 value of 32 μM and binds weakly to the rat central cannabinoid (CB1) receptor with an IC50 value of 3.8 μM. It does not inhibit COX-1 or COX-2 at concentrations up to 100 μM. Inhibition of MAGL hydrolysis of 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG) is associated with enhanced stress-induced analgesia and may represent a novel drug target in pain and stress management.

Most local anesthetics act by abolishing voltage gated sodium channel currents indiscriminately in all populations of neurons. Selective analgesia through TRPV1-mediated entry of a cationic lidocaine derivative, QX314, was recently reported. CAY10568 is a physically smaller, less hydrophobic version of QX314 designed to be even more permeable to TRPV1 ion channel when activated by agonists such as capsaicin and N-oleoyl dopamine. CAY10568 when given in combination with suitable TRPV1 agonists should produce selective blockade of the pain response while leaving motor, touch, and proprioception intact.

It effectively inhibits NT-induced inositol monophosphate formation in HT-29 cells (IC50 = 3.9 nM) and blocks NT-induced hypothermia, analgesia, and steering behavior in vivo. Furthermore, it demonstrates blood-brain barrier permeability, positioning it as a potential tool for psychiatric disorder research [1] [2].
