Abstract |
Local anesthetics (LAs) are widely known for inhibition of voltage-gated sodium channels underlying their antiarrhythmic and antinociceptive effects. However, LAs have significant immunomodulatory properties and were shown to affect human neutrophil functions independent of sodium-channel blockade. Previous studies suggest a highly selective interaction between LAs and the α-subunit of G protein-coupled receptors of the Gq/G11 family as underlying mechanism. Providing a detailed structure function analysis, this study aimed to determine the active parts within the LA molecule responsible for the effects on human neutrophil priming. |
