An inhibitory effect of polyphloretin phosphate (PPP) on local anaesthesia.
In the present investigation it is shown that administration of polyphloretin phosphate (PPP) together with local anaesthetics decreased the duration of infiltration anaesthesia in guinea-pigs. Furthermore, it is shown that in infiltration anaesthesias the local anaesthetic effect was terminated within a few minutes by administration of PPP. In experiments with high- and low-molecular fractions of PPP, the "anti-local anaesthetic" effect of PPP was not due to the antiprostaglandin activity of PPP. There was no effect of PPP on the duration of the nerve-blocking activity of mepivacaine in rats. Neither did the administration of PPP influence the toxic effects of mepivacaine in rabbits.
