NCIt definition : An unclassified compound with local anesthetic effect. Dyclonine reversibly binds
to activated sodium channels on the neuronal membrane, thereby decreasing the neuronal
membrane's permeability to sodium ions, leading to an increased threshold for excitation.
This reversibly stabilizes the membrane and inhibits depolarization, leading to the
failure of a propagated action potential and subsequent conduction blockade. This
results in a transient and reversible loss of sensation in a localized area of the
body.;
