Bupivacaine Usage And Synthesis

Originator

Carbostesin,Astra,W. Germany,1967

Uses

Anesthetic (local).

Uses

Like lidocaine and mepivacaine, bupivacaine is used in infiltration, spinal, and epidural anesthesia in blocking nerve transmission. Its most distinctive property is its long-lasting action.It is used for surgical intervention in urology and in lower thoracic surgery from 3 to 5 h inlength, and in abdominal surgery lasting from 45 to 60 min. It is used to block the trifacialnerve, the sacral and brachial plexuses, in resetting dislocations, in epidural anesthesia, andduring Cesarian sections.

Definition

ChEBI: 1-butyl-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)piperidine-2-carboxamide is a piperidinecarboxamide obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of N-butylpipecolic acid with the amino group of 2,6-dimethylaniline. It is a piperidinecarboxamide, an aromatic amide and a tertiary amino compound. It is a conjugate base of a 1-butyl-2-[(2,6-dimethylphenyl)carbamoyl]piperidinium.

Brand name

Marcaine (Hospira); Sensorcaine(AstraZeneca).

Therapeutic Function

Local anesthetic

General Description

Bupivacaine was synthesized simultaneously with mepivacainein 1957 but was at first overlooked because of the increasedtoxicity compared with mepivacaine. When themethyl on the cyclic amine of mepivacaine is exchanged fora butyl group the lipophilicity, potency and the duration ofaction all increase. Literature reports of cardiovascular toxicity,including severe hypotension and bradycardia, areabundant in the literature.91 Bupivacaine is highly bound toplasma proteins (95%), and thus the free concentration mayremain low until all of the protein binding sites are occupied.After that point, the plasma levels of bupivacaine rise rapidlyand patients may progress to overt cardiac toxicity withoutever showing signs of CNS toxicity. The cardiotoxicity ofbupivacaine is a result of its affinity to cardiac tissues and itsability to depress electrical conduction and predispose theheart to reentry types of arrhythmias. The cardiotoxicity ofbupivacaine was found to be significantly more prominentwith the “R” isomer, or the racemic mixture, thus the “S”stereoisomer is now on the market as levobupivacaine.

Mechanism of action

Bupivacaine is a local anaesthetic containing a chiral centre and adopts dextro and laevo forms. The enantiopure l form is less cardio- and neurotoxic and has an equivalent potency to the racemic mixture; therefore levobupivacaine is often preferred to reduce the potential for toxicity. Stereoselectivity describes the differences in response at a given receptor for the different enantiomers (such as the response discussed for S(+) ketamine). The opioid and NMDA receptors also exhibit stereoselectivity.

Pharmacology

Bupivacaine is a chiral compound used clinically for 50 years, with a sloweronset, greater potency and longer duration of action than lidocaine. Initialbenefits of bupivacaine were sensory–motor separation and minimaltachyphylaxis, unlike repeated doses of lidocaine. However, it has greaterpotential for cardiac toxicity, related to its avid binding to and slowdissociation from cardiac N a+ channels. Inadvertent intravenousadministration may result in systemic toxicity (see later), and it iscontraindicated for intravenous regional anaesthesia.
Bupivacaine is commonly used for epidural administration in obstetrics andpostoperative pain management. A hyperbaric preparation containing80 mg ml^-1 glucose is available for spinal anaesthesia.

Side effects

Common side effects of bupivacaine include:
weakness, long-lasting numbness or tingling;
feeling restless or drowsy;
tremors;
headache, blurred vision;
fast or slow heartbeats;
breathing problems;
chills or shivering;
back pain;
nausea, vomiting.

Synthesis

Bupivacaine, N-2,6-(dimethyl)1-butyl-2-piperidincarboxamide (2.2.7), is chemically similar to mepivacaine and only differs in the replacement of the N-methyl substituent on the piperidine ring with an N-butyl substituent. There are also two suggested methods of synthesis. The first comes from α-picolin-2,6-xylidide (2.2.4). The alkylation of the last with butyl bromide gives the corresponding pyridine salt (2.2.6). Finally, it is reduced by hydrogen using platinum oxide as a catalyst into a piperidine derivative—bupivacaine.

The other method results directly from the piperidine-2-carboxylic acid chloride, which is reacted with 2,6-dimethylaniline. The resulting amide (2.2.8) is further alkylated with butyl bromide to bupivacaine [17–19].
