Chapter 11 details the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynmics of the study drugs Levobupivacaine‚ Ropivacaine and Racemic mixture Bupivacaine. Long-acting amide local anesthetic agent like racemic mixture bupivacaine has an intermediate asymmetric carbon chain linkage. Because of this asymmetric carbon atom as chiral centre‚ it exhibits stereo isomerism.In the commercial presentation of this local anaesthetic there is a 50:50 proportion: levobupivacaine‚ L (-) isomer‚ and dextrobupivacaine D (+) isomer
