Local anaesthetics potentiate epidural or intrathecal opioid analgesia via a poorly defined mechanism. In this study, we have examined the interaction of local anaesthetics (lidocaine, bupivacaine and its optical isomers, tetracaine, procaine and prilocaine) with recombinant mu-, kappa-, and delta-opioid receptors expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO-mu, kappa, and delta, respectively). Lidocaine produced a concentration-dependent displacement of radiolabelled opioid antagonist [3H]diprenorphine ([3H]DPN) binding with the following rank order of inhibitor constant (Ki): kappa (210 microM) > mu (552 microM) > delta (1810 microM).
