A quaternary lidocaine derivative, permanently charged, and lipophobic. A powerful blocker of voltage-sensitive Na+ conductance when applied intracellularly. Suppresses the generation of Na+-dependent spikes from inside the cell membrane, without affecting Ca2+ currents or glutamate-activated currents.
