No. 60/930.261, filed on May 15, 2007, each of 0008 Accordingly, in a first aspect the invention features a which is incorporated herein by reference. method of treating pain in a patient in need thereof by topi cally administering to the patient an agent selected from BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION N-chloro amines and N-dichloro amines in an amount suffi cient to treat the pain. 0002 Chronic pain is one of the most important clinical 0009. The invention also features a method of treating pain problems in all of medicine. For example, it is estimated that at a site in a patient in need thereof by locally injecting at the over 5 million people in the United States are disabled by back site an agent selected from N-chloro amines and N-dichloro pain. The economic cost of chronic back pain is enormous, amines in an amount Sufficient to treat the pain. resulting in over 100 million lost work days annually at an 0010. The invention further features a method of treating estimated cost of S50-100 billion. It has been reported that pain in a patient in need thereof by administering to the approximately 8 million people in the U.S. report that they patient an agent selected from N-chloro amines and experience chronic neck or facial pain and spendan estimated N-dichloro amines in an amount Sufficient to treat the pain, S2 billion a year for treatment. The cost of managing pain for wherein the pain is nociceptive pain, Somatic pain, visceral oncology patients is thought to approach S12 billion. Chronic pain, procedural pain, or inflammatory pain caused by pain disables more people than cancer or heart disease and trauma, Surgery, or an autoimmune disease. In certain costs the American public more than both cancer and heart embodiments the pain is caused by trauma, Surgery, hernia disease combined. In addition to the physical consequences, tion of an intervertebral disk, spinal cord injury, shingles, chronic pain has numerous other costs including loss of HIV/AIDS, cancer related pain, amputation, neurodegenera employment, marital discord, depression and prescription tive disorders, carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, drug addiction.

  • Drugs to Avoid in Brugada Syndrome Patients January 2015
    Concerns: ______________________ Date of birth: ______________________ Dear colleague, Because of cardiologic and/or genetic evidence of Brugada syndrome in the patient mentioned above, I advised him/her not to take the following prescriptions: DRUGS TO BE AVOIDED Antiarrhythmic drugs*: Ajmaline, Allapinine, Ethacizine, Flecainide, Pilsicainide, Procainamide, Propafenone Psychotropic drugs: Amitriplyline, Clomipramine, Desipramine, Lithium, Loxapine, Nortriptyline, Oxcarbazepine, Trifluoperazine Anesthetics / analgesics*: Bupivacaine, Procaine, Propofol Other substances: Acetylcholine, Alcohol (toxicity), Cannabis, Cocaine, Ergonovine *For advice please visit www.brugadadrugs.org/emergencies DRUGS PREFERABLY AVOIDED Antiarrhythmic drugs: Amiodarone, Cibenzoline, Disopyramide, Lidocaine*, Propranolol, Verapamil, Vernakalant Psychotropic drugs: Bupropion, Carbamazepine, Clothiapine, Cyamemazine, Dosulepine, Doxepine, Fluoxetine, Fluvoxamine, Imipramine, Lamotrigine, Maprotiline, Paroxetine, Perphenazine, Phenytoin, Thioridazine Anesthetics / analgesics: Ketamine, Tramadol Other substances: Demenhydrinate, Diphenhydramine, Edrophonium, Indapamide, Metoclopramide, Terfenadine/Fexofenadine * Lidocaine use for local anesthesia (e.g. by dentists) does seem to be safe if the amount administrated is low and if it is combined with adrenaline (epinephrine) which results in a local effect only. Further, in case of fever, close (electrocardiographic) monitoring is appropriate in combination with lowering of the body temperature (e.g. by using Paracetamol/Acetaminophen).

  • Ethmozine and Ethacizine - New Antiarrhythmic Drugs with Defibrillating Properties
    ETHMOZINE AND ETHACIZINE - NEW ANTIARRHYTHMIC DRUGS WITH DEFIBRILLATING PROPERTIES Dalia Varon, Moshe Rechavi, Mordechai Erez, Gabriella Goldberg, Mordechai Manoach and Natalia V. Kaverina* Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, Tel Aviv University School of Medicine, Tel-Aviv, Israel *Institute of Pharmacology, Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Moscow, Russia ABSTRACT Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is a life-threatening arrhythmia that leads to death unless electrical defibrillation is applied in time. Recent publications indicate that VF can be either sustained (SVF), requiring electrical defibrillation, or transient (TVF), reverting spontaneously into sinus rhythm. Since VF cannot be totally prevented by drugs, a new antiarrhythmic therapeutic approach has been proposed: drug- induced enhancement of the ability of the heart to defibrillate by itself. In this study we examined the defibrillating potency of two antiarrhythmic phenothiazines, ethmozine (ETM) and ethacizine (ETA), as well as their effects on catecholamine uptake and on the electrophysiological properties of the myocardial cell membrane. The antiarrhythmic-defibrillatory activity was examined in cats; the inhibitory effect on [3H]-norepinephrine (NE) uptake was examined in rat brain synaptosomes, and the electrophysiological membrane effects were examined by microelectrode recordings in perfused strips of heart ventricle from guinea-pigs. The results indicate that: 1. ETA exhibits similar but stronger antiarrhythmic-defibrillating and NE reuptake inhibitory effects than ETM; 2. ETA at ΙΟ-6 Μ decreases ventricular conduction time and increases Vmax while ETM at this concentration does not change them; 3. The defibrillating ability of the drugs can be related to their inhibitory potency on NE reuptake. Accepted 8 August 1993 © FREUND PUBLISHING HOUSE LTD., 1993 299 Vol.

  • Sodium Channel Na Channels; Na+ Channels
    Sodium Channel Na channels; Na+ channels Sodium channels are integral membrane proteins that form ion channels, conducting sodium ions (Na+) through a cell's plasma membrane. They are classified according to the trigger that opens the channel for such ions, i.e. either a voltage-change (Voltage-gated, voltage-sensitive, or voltage-dependent sodium channel also called VGSCs or Nav channel) or a binding of a substance (a ligand) to the channel (ligand-gated sodium channels). In excitable cells such as neurons, myocytes, and certain types of glia, sodium channels are responsible for the rising phase of action potentials. Voltage-gated Na+ channels can exist in any of three distinct states: deactivated (closed), activated (open), or inactivated (closed). Ligand-gated sodium channels are activated by binding of a ligand instead of a change in membrane potential. www.MedChemExpress.com 1 Sodium Channel Inhibitors, Agonists, Antagonists, Activators & Modulators (+)-Kavain (-)-Sparteine sulfate pentahydrate Cat.
