Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
This study investigated the brain uptake of local anesthetics in rats following steady-state plasma concentrations and/or intravenous bolus administration. All tested ester anesthetics, such as ethyl para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) esters (Et), propylparaben (Pr), butylparaben (Bu), and procaine, were rapidly cleared from plasma in a dose-dependent manner. The plasma concentration profiles of these compounds were well explained by a two-compartment model with a Michaelis elimination process that begins in the central compartment. …The extent of brain uptake (brain-plasma partition coefficient, Kp value) of these drugs was determined at three different steady-state plasma concentrations (1–15 μM). The Kp values for each drug were similar at the three different steady-state plasma concentrations. The Kp values increased in the following order: procaine (1.1) < PABA-Et (1.9), < lidocaine (2.2), < PABA-Pr (2.7), < PABA-Bu (3.6). In the n-heptane/water or n-octanol/water partition systems, there is a linear relationship between the Kp value and the logarithm of the partition coefficient. Metabolism/Metabolites Orally or subcutaneously administered PABA esters are rapidly hydrolyzed in mammals to alcohols and free acids. /PABA esters/ |

Interactions
A 28-year-old white male underwent endotracheal intubation for respiratory distress, during which he received a citacaine (benzocaine, buprofen, and tetracaine) inhaler and benzocaine ointment. Ninety minutes later, despite ventilation, the patient developed cyanosis with methemoglobin levels at 29% of total hemoglobin. /buprofen/ Non-human toxicity values The intraperitoneal LD50 in mice was 126 mg/kg. |

| Solubility (In Vitro) |
DMSO : ~100 mg/mL (~557.97 mM)

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: 2.5 mg/mL (13.95 mM) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with sonication.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (13.95 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

| 5 mM | 1.1159 mL | 5.5797 mL | 11.1595 mL | |
| 10 mM | 0.5580 mL | 2.7899 mL | 5.5797 mL |
*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
Calculation results
Working concentration: mg/mL;
Method for preparing DMSO stock solution: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO (stock solution concentration mg/mL). Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation::Take μL DMSO stock solution, next add μL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O,mix and clarify.
(1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
(2) Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order.
