(S)-Ropivacaine(CAS: 84057-95-4)

(S)-Ropivacaine is a long-acting local anesthetic used in medical procedures to numb pain in specific areas of the body. Its chemical formula is C16H27NO2. It is optically active and has a higher lipophilicity compared to levobupivacaine, making it suitable for various regional and epidural anesthesia applications.

(S)-Ropivacaine is primarily used in medical procedures as a local anesthetic. It is commonly applied for pain management in regional anesthesia, such as spinal, epidural, and peripheral nerve blocks. It is also used for infiltration anesthesia and local block anesthesia in surgery and postoperative pain management.

(S)-Ropivacaine is generally safe when used under medical supervision. However, it is important to follow safety guidelines, including proper dosage and administration techniques. Adverse reactions include systemic toxicity, which can be mitigated by avoiding intravascular injection. Always store the compound securely and follow safety standards.

(S)-Ropivacaine should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Maintain a temperature range of 15-25°C (59-77°F) and store in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption. Avoid exposure to excessive humidity and light, as these can affect the stability of the compound. Keep the substance away from children and unauthorized personnel. Handle with care to prevent accidental spills or ingestion. Store out of reach of pets.
