Peer Review #2 of "Capsazepine prolongation of the duration of lidocaine block of sensory transmission in mice may be mediated by modulation of HCN channel currents (v0.1)"
Abstract:Background and Objectives: Hyperpolarization-activation cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels contribute to the effects of lidocaine. Capsazepine (CPZ), a competitive inhibitor of capsaicin of transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (TRPV-1) channel, has also been found to inhibit HCN channel currents (I h). This study was designed to investigate whether CPZ could prolong durations of lidocaine in regional anesthesia. Methods: Mouse HCN1 and HCN2 channels were expressed in HEK 293 cells. The effect of CPZ on… Show more
