NCIt definition : The hydrochloride salt of ropivacaine, a local anesthetic of the amide type with analgesic
activity. Ropivacaine binds to voltage-gated sodium ion channels in the neuronal membrane,
thereby preventing the permeability of sodium ions and resulting in a stabilization
of the neuronal membrane and inhibition of depolarization; nerve impulse generation
and propagation are blocked, resulting in a reversible loss of sensation.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A drug used to control pain and to cause a temporary loss of feeling in
one part of the body, during and after surgery. It is also being studied for pain
