Tetracaine is a potent local anaesthetic and a channel function allosteric inhibitor that blocks voltage-sensitive release of Ca2+ from sarcoplasmic reticulum. At low concentrations, tetracaine causes an initial inhibition of spontaneous calcium release events, while at high concentrations, tetracaine blocks release completely. inhibitor of voltage-gated sodium channels such as NaV1.4 and NaV1.8. Shown also to reversibly block nicotinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptors (nAChRs).
