✨ 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.
