title: Effects of short-term and long-term administration of procaine hydrochloride and mepivacaine hydrochloride on hexobarbital-induced sleeping times in mice.
abstract: Investigations were performed to determine the effects of short-and long-term pretreatment with procaine and mepivacaine on hexobarbital-induced sleeping times in mice. It was found that short-term preadministration with procaine (40 mg/kg) and mepivacine (40 and 60 mg/kg) significantly increased hexobarbital-induced sleeping time, but long-term pretreatment had no effect.
