At a glance
| Generic name | bucain + fentanyl |
|---|---|
| Sponsor | University of Debrecen |
| Drug class | Local anesthetic + opioid analgesic combination |
| Target | Voltage-gated sodium channels (bucain); mu-opioid receptor (fentanyl) |
| Modality | Small molecule |
| Therapeutic area | Pain Management / Anesthesia |
| Phase | FDA-approved |
Mechanism of action
Bucain works by inhibiting sodium influx in nerve fibers, preventing action potential propagation and blocking pain signal transmission at the site of administration. Fentanyl acts as a mu-opioid receptor agonist in the central nervous system, enhancing pain relief through opioid pathways. This combination provides both local and systemic analgesia for pain management.
