Reference
“Local Anaesthetics”
These are agents which upon topical application or local injection cause reversible loss of pain sensation in a restricted area of the body. They act by blocking both sensory and motor nerve conduction to produce temporary loss of sensation without loss of consciousness.
Mechanism of action
These drugs reversibly prevent the generation and propagation of impulses in all excitable membranes including nerve fiber by stabilizing the membrane.
Local anesthetics block the nerve conduction by decreasing the entry of Na+ during action potential. They interact with a receptor situated within the voltage sensitive Na+ channel and raise the threshold of Na+ channel opening.
Therefore, Na+ can’t enter into the cell in response to an impulse which prevents depolarisation. Thus, action potential is not generated.
This action affecting the depolarization which leads to failure of conduction of impulse without affecting the resting membrane potential (RMP) is known as membrane stabilizing effect.
History- Cocaine is a naturally occurring compound indigenous to the Andes Mountains, West Indies, and Java.
It was the first anesthetic to be discovered and is the only naturally occurring local anesthetic; all others are synthetically derived.
Cocaine was introduced into Europe in the 1800s following its isolation from coca beans. Sigmund Freud, the noted Austrian psychoanalyst, used cocaine on his patients and became addicted through self-experimentation.
In the latter half of the 1800s, interest in the drug became widespread, and many of cocaine's pharmacologic actions and adverse effects were elucidated during this time. In the 1880s, Koller introduced cocaine to the field of ophthalmology, and Hall introduced it to dentistry

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.

Cancer cell metabolism: special Reference to Lactate PathwayAADYARAJPANDEY1
Normal Cell Metabolism:
Cellular respiration describes the series of steps that cells use to break down sugar and other chemicals to get the energy we need to function.
Energy is stored in the bonds of glucose and when glucose is broken down, much of that energy is released.
Cell utilize energy in the form of ATP.
The first step of respiration is called glycolysis. In a series of steps, glycolysis breaks glucose into two smaller molecules - a chemical called pyruvate. A small amount of ATP is formed during this process.
Most healthy cells continue the breakdown in a second process, called the Kreb's cycle. The Kreb's cycle allows cells to “burn” the pyruvates made in glycolysis to get more ATP.
The last step in the breakdown of glucose is called oxidative phosphorylation (Ox-Phos).
It takes place in specialized cell structures called mitochondria. This process produces a large amount of ATP. Importantly, cells need oxygen to complete oxidative phosphorylation.
If a cell completes only glycolysis, only 2 molecules of ATP are made per glucose. However, if the cell completes the entire respiration process (glycolysis - Kreb's - oxidative phosphorylation), about 36 molecules of ATP are created, giving it much more energy to use.
IN CANCER CELL:
Unlike healthy cells that "burn" the entire molecule of sugar to capture a large amount of energy as ATP, cancer cells are wasteful.
Cancer cells only partially break down sugar molecules. They overuse the first step of respiration, glycolysis. They frequently do not complete the second step, oxidative phosphorylation.
This results in only 2 molecules of ATP per each glucose molecule instead of the 36 or so ATPs healthy cells gain. As a result, cancer cells need to use a lot more sugar molecules to get enough energy to survive.

introduction to WARBERG PHENOMENA:
WARBURG EFFECT Usually, cancer cells are highly glycolytic (glucose addiction) and take up more glucose than do normal cells from outside.
Otto Heinrich Warburg (; 8 October 1883 – 1 August 1970) In 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology for his "discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.
WARNBURG EFFECT : cancer cells under aerobic (well-oxygenated) conditions to metabolize glucose to lactate (aerobic glycolysis) is known as the Warburg effect. Warburg made the observation that tumor slices consume glucose and secrete lactate at a higher rate than normal tissues.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
Introduction:
RNA interference (RNAi) or Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS) is an important biological process for modulating eukaryotic gene expression.
It is highly conserved process of posttranscriptional gene silencing by which double stranded RNA (dsRNA) causes sequence-specific degradation of mRNA sequences.
dsRNA-induced gene silencing (RNAi) is reported in a wide range of eukaryotes ranging from worms, insects, mammals and plants.
This process mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids, and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes.
What are small ncRNAs?
micro RNA (miRNA)
short interfering RNA (siRNA)
Properties of small non-coding RNA:
Involved in silencing mRNA transcripts.
Called “small” because they are usually only about 21-24 nucleotides long.
Synthesized by first cutting up longer precursor sequences (like the 61nt one that Lee discovered).
Silence an mRNA by base pairing with some sequence on the mRNA.
Discovery of siRNA?
The first small RNA:
In 1993 Rosalind Lee (Victor Ambros lab) was studying a non- coding gene in C. elegans, lin-4, that was involved in silencing of another gene, lin-14, at the appropriate time in the
development of the worm C. elegans.
Two small transcripts of lin-4 (22nt and 61nt) were found to be complementary to a sequence in the 3' UTR of lin-14.
Because lin-4 encoded no protein, she deduced that it must be these transcripts that are causing the silencing by RNA-RNA interactions.
Types of RNAi ( non coding RNA)
MiRNA
Length (23-25 nt)
Trans acting
Binds with target MRNA in mismatch
Translation inhibition
Si RNA
Length 21 nt.
Cis acting
Bind with target Mrna in perfect complementary sequence
Piwi-RNA
Length ; 25 to 36 nt.
Expressed in Germ Cells
Regulates trnasposomes activity
MECHANISM OF RNAI:
First the double-stranded RNA teams up with a protein complex named Dicer, which cuts the long RNA into short pieces.
Then another protein complex called RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) discards one of the two RNA strands.
The RISC-docked, single-stranded RNA then pairs with the homologous mRNA and destroys it.
THE RISC COMPLEX:
RISC is large(>500kD) RNA multi- protein Binding complex which triggers MRNA degradation in response to MRNA
Unwinding of double stranded Si RNA by ATP independent Helicase
Active component of RISC is Ago proteins( ENDONUCLEASE) which cleave target MRNA.
DICER: endonuclease (RNase Family III)
Argonaute: Central Component of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC)
One strand of the dsRNA produced by Dicer is retained in the RISC complex in association with Argonaute
ARGONAUTE PROTEIN :
1.PAZ(PIWI/Argonaute/ Zwille)- Recognition of target MRNA
2.PIWI (p-element induced wimpy Testis)- breaks Phosphodiester bond of mRNA.)RNAse H activity.
MiRNA:
The Double-stranded RNAs are naturally produced in eukaryotic cells during development, and they have a key role in regulating gene expression .

UCPS, Palamuru University, MBNR
Medicinal Chemistry of Local
Anaesthetics
1
2. Local anaesthetics
Local anaesthetics are the drugs that when applied directly to
the peripheral nervous tissue blocks nerve conduction and
abolish all the sensation in that part supplied by the nerve.
These are used in dentistry, in ophthalmology in minor surgical
operations, including endoscopy, and relieving pain in certain
medical conditions such as tumours growing on spine.
These are also used for temporary relief of pain from insect
bites, burns, and other surface wounds
2
3. Mechanism ofAction
Conduction of nerve impulses is mediated by action
potential (AP) generation along axon.
Cationic form of local anesthetic binds at inner
surface of Na+ channel – preventing Na+ influx (rising
phase of membrane potential) which initiates AP →
blockade ofnerve impulses (e.g., those mediating
pain).
3
7. Natural agents
Cocaine: it is an alkoloid obtained from
erythroxylon coccoa (first local anaesthetic)
Employed topically 1-2% solution (earlier days)
for anaesthesia of ear, nose, throat, rectum and
vagina.
7
10. Synthesis of Benzocain
It is used to get rid of pain caused by wounds,
ulcers and in mucus surfaces
10
11. Synthesis of Procain
It is used in infiltration anaethesia and
spinal anaesthesia (5-20%)
It is not effective topically
11
12. Anilides (amide) derivatives
Name R1 R2 Description
Lidocaine
(Lignocain)
-CH3 -CH2N(C2H5) 2 Vasodilatory action, used with
vasoconstrictors
Ointments, jelly & Topical solutions
Duration 60-75min prolonged to 2hrs
Mepivacain
(carbocaine
)
-CH3 Topically not active, longer duration of
action 120-150min
Mostly used infiltration
Prilocaine -H Used for ephineprine intolerance patients
Causes methemoglobanemia
Etidocaine -CH3 More potent than lidocaine and longer
duration of action can be used by
infiltration, epidural and regional
anaesthesia
12
13. Miscellaneous LAs
Diperodon: potent surface
anaesthetic
Used primarily for anus
Highly toxic upon IV administration
causes hypersensitivity reactions
• Phenacaine: mainly used
for local anaesthesia of Eye
• Dibucaine
13
16. Dibucaine
Generally used for surface anaesthesia
When administered by IV Inhibits plasma cholinesterase
causes toxic effect.
Neuromuscular blockers generally administered in
anaesthesia to prevent respiratory paralysis
16
17. SAR of Local Anaesthetics
1. General SAR
LA s are broadly belongs to two main basic chemical structures 1. Esters (Procaine)
17
19. Cont..
LA’s activity and duration of action is very much
dependent upon the stability of those structures
The main factor the stability of these two derivatives is the
hydrolysis of esters and amides
Xylidine ion is a poor leaving group than the diethyl
amino ethyloxide group, which is responsible for slower
hydrolysis of the lidocaine amide bond, resulting more
stable and longer duration of action
19
20. Cont..
By the introduction of electron withdrawing group (O-
Chloro) in procaine (chloroprocaine) makes the ester
linkage more susceptible to hydrolysis therefore
chlorprocaine having shorter duration of action.
Introduction of electron-releasing group O-Propoxy group
(propoxycain) makes the ester hydrolysis difficult as
compared to procaine hence proxycain having longer
duration of action
20
21. 2. SAR of Ester Derivatives
i) Aryl group (substitution on aryl group) :
Chloroprocaine: Chloro substitution in the 2- position. the
electron withdrawing chlorine destabilises the ester link to
hydrolysis
Chlorine is hydrolysed by plasma more than four times faster
than procaine and having rapid onset of action21
22. Cont..
The presence of non-polar n-butyl group on the aromatic ring
probably accounts for the grater lipid solubility of tetracaine,
which is one of most easily absorbed drugs
Presence of 3-BuO group appears to stabilize the molecular
hydrolysis as in bunoxinate
The aryl group is attached directly to the carbonyl group
conjugation of the aromatic moiety with carbonyl group
enhances the LAs activity
Substitution of the aryl moiety with substituents that increase
the electron density of the carbonyl oxygen enhances the
activity22
23. Cont..
The favourable substituents include alkoxy, amino and
alkyl amino in para and ortho positions and these alter the
lipophilic activity
ii) Bridge X : X may be carbon, oxygen, nitrogen or sulphur
In an isosteric procaine series anaesthetic potency
decreases in the order, these modifications affects duration
of action and toxicity
Amides X=N most resistant to metabolic hydrolysis than
(X=O); thio esters (X=S) may cause demerits
23
24. Cont..
iii) Aminoalkyl group:
This is considered to be hydrophilic part of local
anaesthetic molecule
Territory amines appear to produce longer duration of
action but they are more irritating
Primary amines are not very active and causes irritating.
Alkyl groups including the intermediate chain linked to X,
primarily influence the relative lipid solubility
24
25. 3.SAR of Amide derivatives
Aryl group at 2 or 6 with methyl group enhances the
activity
And the methyl substituents provides more steric
hindrance to the hydrolysis of amide bonds
25
26. Cont..
X may be carbon(Isogramine), oxygen (Lidocaine) or
nitrogen (phenacain) Lidociane (X=O) has provided
useful product
Aminoalkyl group: it is hydrophilic portion of the
molecule and undergoes salt formation
Tertiary amines are more useful clinically and 1o, 2o
are more irritating.
26
27. 4. Coefficient Distribution:
Nerve membrane consists primary lipids, increasing the lipid
solubility a series of compounds facilitated penetration of nerve
membrane.
The potency of local anaesthetic is directly proportional to
distribution coefficients in vitro.
Substitution of aryl group by alkyl, alkoxy, alkylamino groups
leads to homologous series in which partition coefficient with
increasing CH3 groups at C4, C5 or C6
27
28. Cont..
Branching of N-alkyl groups in often accompanied by an
intensification of activity
Territory amino group may be diethyl amino, piperidino or
pyrrolidino with the same degree of activity.
Clinically useful agents exhibits Pka values in the range of
8.0 – 9.5 because of the compounds with higher Pka
values ionised 100% at Physiological PH and so have
difficulty in reaching the bio-phase.
