Study of the complex formation between amine local anesthetics and uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation carbonyl cyanide phenylhydrazones.
Spectroscopic evidence is presented which indicates that the anionic uncoupler carbonyl cyanide-4-nitro-2-chloro-phenylhydrazone and the amine local anesthetics form a complex in aqueous solution. The complex formation studies were carried out for several pharmacologically important tertiary amines and some primary amines. Their relative potencies to form a complex with uncoupler have followed the order: procaine < trimecaine < tetracaine < dibucaine < dodecylamine < dicyclohexylamine < hexadecylamine. As to the more lipophilic nature of the complex the emphasized penetration into octanol and reinforced retention into mitochondria was observed. The higher ability of the complex to colapse the mitochondrial membrane potential confirms this fact. The effective concentration of amine local anesthetics to form a complex was correlated with their physicochemical properties namely lipophilicity and acidobasicity. The highest effectivities for complex formation is shown by the most lipophilic and the most ionized molecules of amines. Present results point to the importance of considering the role of amine anesthetic-uncoupler complex in interpreting physiological or ion transport data in which these substances have been used together.
