Background: Local anesthetics are widely used to decrease sensitivity to pain in specific regions of the body while performing medical tasks. Many studies have probed the mechanism of action of local anesthetics but still many questions remain. (2R - (-) 2 - (2, 6-dimethylphenylaminocarbonyl) - 1 – methyl piperidinium chloride (DAMP), is an extensively used amide-type local anesthetic. Objective: This study aims at revealing the various electrophysical and chemical properties of the title compound. This study will be useful for future research by pharmacologists. Method: Density Functional Theory (DFT) computations were executed using Gaussian’09 program package and were optimized with the B3LYP /6-311+G (d, p) basis set. Natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis was carried out with version 3.1. Normal Coordinate Analysis (NCA) was used to systematically calculate the harmonic vibrational wavenumbers. Molecular docking simulations were carried out to understand the pharmacokinetic behavior of the drug. Results: The presence of strong N-H…Cl intra molecular hydrogen bonding was evidently revealed from the FT-IR spectrum due to the shifting of NH stretching wavenumber. Stability of the molecule arising from hyper conjugative interactions exhibits the bioactivity of the molecule by natural bond orbital analysis. The title molecule binds to the inner pore and blocks voltage - gated sodium channels in peripheral neurons. Conclusion: A detailed molecular picture of DAMP and its interactions were obtained by modeling analysis, IR, Raman, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The geometrical parameters agree well with the XRD data. NBO analysis indicates the bioactivity of the molecule. The HOMO-LUMO energy gap indicates the possibility of intramolecular charge transfer of the molecule. From the ligand docking studies it is concluded that the title molecule binds to the inner pore and blocks voltage - gated sodium channels in peripheral neurons.

Alkyl amphipaths resemble conventional local anesthetics in their ability to retard the recovery of excitability and twitch tension after depolarization at high Ko, an effect that is attributed to slow inactivation of potential-dependent sodium channels. The similar effect of low temperature offers an explanation for its ability to enhance the frequency-dependent effects of these agents.

The potency of various types of alkyl amphipathic (cationic, anionic, and neutral) as well as tertiary amine local anesthetics in impairing the excitability of frog skeletal muscle was markedly enhanced by an increase in temperature from 20 to 30 °C. Enhancement of the local anesthetic effects of all types of agents was also produced by a decrease in temperature to 5 °C, but this effect was found to be frequency dependent. With abrupt increase or decrease in temperature, changes in excitability were rapid and unlikely to be the result of changes in the partition of the apolar portions of these molecules into the hydrophobic regions of the sarcolemma. These results are interpreted as indicating that both the presence of local anesthetics and alterations in temperature can influence the rates of potential-dependent changes in the conformation of membrane proteins that control the permeability of excitable sodium channels, possibly by modifying the fluidity of specific portions of their hydrophobic components or their immediate lipid environment. The accumulation of inactivation as the result of incomplete recovery from the effects of preceding depolarizations appears sufficient to explain the frequency-dependent effects produced by these agents.
