Tetracaine

✨ ‌Tetracaine (CAS 94-24-6) | High-Purity Local Anesthetic for Medical and Research Applications‌ ✨

🧪 ‌Product Overview‌

‌Tetracaine‌ (CAS 94-24-6), with the molecular formula ‌C₁₅H₂₄N₂O₂‌ and molecular weight ‌264.36‌, is a ‌potent local anesthetic‌ widely used in surface anesthesia. This white crystalline powder (purity ≥98%) acts by blocking sodium channels in nerve cells, providing rapid and prolonged numbness. It is ‌10 times more potent than procaine‌ and maintains efficacy for ‌2–3 hours‌, making it ideal for ‌ophthalmic, nasal, and urological procedures‌.

‌Key Functions‌:

• Surface anesthesia for ‌eye, nose, throat, and urinary tract‌ interventions.

• Intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis for advanced anesthetic formulations.

‌Target Industries‌: Medical devices, pharmaceutical manufacturing, clinical research.

⭐ ‌Key Advantages‌

🏭 ‌Applications‌

• ‌Ophthalmic Surgery‌: Topical anesthesia for eye procedures.

• ‌ENT Interventions‌: Nasal and throat surface numbing.

• ‌Urological Procedures‌: Local anesthesia for catheterization.

• ‌Pharmaceutical Synthesis‌: Intermediate for novel anesthetic drugs.

📊 ‌Quality Assurance‌

• ‌Purity‌: ≥98% (HPLC/EP/USP standards).

• ‌Testing‌: Validated via ‌HPLC, NMR‌, and ‌mass spectrometry‌.

• ‌Packaging‌: Customizable batches (1g–25kg) in moisture-proof, light-resistant containers.

📈 ‌Market Insights‌

The global local anesthesia market is projected to grow at ‌6.2% CAGR (2025–2030)‌, driven by rising demand for minimally invasive surgeries. Asia-Pacific leads API production, with China dominating cost-effective manufacturing of high-purity anesthetics.
