Lidocaine

An amide local anaesthetic synthesised in the early 1940s in Stockholm by Nils Löfgren and Bengt Lundqvist, on the market since 1948: it is used for local anaesthesia and also as an antiarrhythmic. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, labelled standards, nitrosamines and other impurities.

Did you know?It all began with gramine, an alkaloid from a mutant barley that numbed the mouth when tasted; Lundqvist then tested the new molecules on himself.
