Vasoconstrictors
85
Introduction
Blood vessel constrictors, the second most important drugs
in local anesthesia, enhance the efficacy and safety of the
primary drug, the local anesthetic itself.
Two families of blood vessel constrictors or vasoconstric-
tors are presently used in dentistry:
1) Sympathomimetics or catecholamines, so- called
because they share a catechol core, including the natural hormones and neurotransmitters epinephrine and
norepinephrine, and the synthetic drug levonordefrin.
2) Felypressin, a polypeptide derived from the posterior
pituitary hormone vasopressin.
The most effective and by far most commonly used vasoconstrictor is epinephrine, oddly enough the first vasoconstrictor ever to be used.
Advantages
As noted, vasoconstrictors heighten local anesthetic effects
and safety.
1) In dentistry that enhanced efficacy and potency trans-
late into a higher percentage of successful anesthetization of dental pulp, the most difficult tissue to numb
(Table6.1). The massthe vasoconstrictor’s ability to hold the local anesthetic
in place raises the potency of lower doses (1–2% for
action comparable to 6–7%).
2) Vasoconstrictors lengthen anesthesia duration in both
pulp and soft tissues (Table6.1), likewise as a result of
the mass- volume- time effect.
3) Both epinephrine (Curtis et al. 1966; Meyer and
Allen1968; Hecht and App1974; Sveen1979; Buckley
et al. 1984; Moore et al. 2007) and felypressin
(Shanks 1963; Light et al. 1965; Fisher et al. 1965)
reduce hemorrhaging in surgeries by constricting blood
volume- time effect attributable to
vessels. An additional advantage is that they shorten the
duration of oral surgeries by affording the surgeon a
wider field of view (Hecht and App 1974; Buckley
etal.1984; Moore etal.2007).
4) Vasoconstrictors reduce the toxicity of local anesthetics.
● Experimental studies in animals have shown that the
subcutaneous injection of a local anesthetic in conjunction with a vasoconstrictor such as epinephrine
(Campbell and Adriani1958; Henn1960; Henn and
Brattsand1966) or felypressin (Akerman1969) lowers the toxicity of the former (Table6.2). The subcutaneous injection of 2% lidocaine in rats has been
shown to disappear in 2 hours, whereas if administered with epinephrine it lasts more than 4
hours
(Sung and Truant1954).
● Clinical studies have found that adding a vasocon-
strictor lowers the anesthetic peak (Bromage and
Robson 1961; Braid and Scott 1965; Lund and
Cwik 1965; Cannell and Beckett 1975a; Perovic
et al. 1980) (Table6.3) and delays its appearance in
plasma (Bromage and Robson 1961; Braid and
Scott1965; Lund and Cwik1965) (Figure6.1). This is
because the slower absorption of the anesthetic
(Campbell and Adriani1958; Lund and Cwik 1965;
Cannell and Beckett 1975a) reduces its capacity to
reach toxic levels in the blood by giving the body more
time to break the drug down.
● The greater potency afforded local anesthetics by
vasoconstrictors (see (1) above) also enhances safety
indirectly because it enables clinicians to inject
smaller quantities to achieve the same effect.
Disadvantages
Vasoconstrictors are characterized by two major drawbacks.
1) They heighten the toxicity of intravascularly injected
local anesthetics (hence the importance of aspirating

Conclusion Higher toxicity with NO
epinephrine, subcutaneous
administration
Using felypressin as the vasoconstrictor delivers very similar results (Akerman1969).
Higher toxicity WITH epinephrine,
intravenous administration
after every injection). Experimental studies with
animals show that if administered intravenously,
anesthetic solutions are more toxic if they bear vasoconstrictors than if they do not (Table6.2), i.e. exactly
the opposite behavior as observed in subcutaneous
injections.

Catecholamines
These vasoconstrictors derive their name from the fact that

they consist of a catechol group (a benzene ring with two
adjacent hydroxy groups) and an amine side chain

Goebel etal. (1980b).
(Figure 6.2). They are also known as sympathomimetic
vasoconstrictors because they act on the autonomic sympa-
thetic nervous system or adrenergic amines because some
of them (epinephrine and norepinephrine) are released by
the adrenal medulla or are artificial derivatives of such
substances (levonordefrin).
Dilutions andConcentrations
Vasoconstrictor dilutions are measured as a ratio of parts
Vasoconstrictor sympathomimetics administered in dentistry anesthetic solutions are characterized by three
properties.
per thousand, written as, for instance, 1:1000. Doses may
also be expressed in milligrams (mg) or micrograms (μg).
Concentrations are expressed in milligrams or micrograms
per milliliter (mg/ml, μg/ml) or percentage (%). Some
examples are listed below.
1) In their basic form catecholamines are not water solu-
ble. As hydrochloric salts they, like local anesthetics,
dissolve in water, but are unfortunately not stable in
that medium. They are consequently used as bitartrates,
i.e. the bitartrate salts such as epinephrine bitartrate
● A 1:1000 dilution is 1 g (1000 mg) of drug in 1000 ml of
solution. Hence:
1:1000=1 mg/ml=1000 μg/ml=0.1%
One liter (1000 ml) contains 1000 mg (1 g) of drug
● A 1:100 000 dilution is 0.01 g (10 mg) of drug in 1000 ml
of solution, whereby:
1:100 000=0.01 mg/ml=10 μg/ml=0.001%
One liter (1000 ml) contains 10 mg (0.01 g) of drug
● A 1:200 000 dilution is 0.005 g (5 mg) of drug in 1000 ml
of solution, whereby:
1:200 000=0.005 mg/ml=5 μg/ml=0.000 5%
One liter (1000 ml) contains 5 mg (0.005 g) of drug
resulting from the reaction with two molecules of tartaric acid, which are both stable and water soluble
(Smith1920; Bonica1959).
2) They are combined with sulfites, the antioxidizing
action of which lengthens catecholamine life because
these vasoconstrictors are highly vulnerable to oxidation (Milano etal.1982; Klein1983).
3) Vasoconstrictor solutions must have a low pH of 2.7–5.5
(USP 38 2015) because otherwise they are oxidized and
degraded (Fyhr and Brodin1987): at a pH >6 epinephrine
breaks down in a matter of hours (De Jong and
Cullen1963).

Isomers andCatecholamines
The three vasoconstrictive sympathomimetic amines used
with local anesthetics in dentistry are isomeric or enantiomeric, i.e. they may present as either of two molecular configurations that differ in the positions of their atoms or
atomic groups. As a result, a plane of polarized light can
rotate in one of two opposite directions, hence the name
optical isomers.
Unlike local anesthetics, most of which adopt racemic
forms ( or ± or RS), i.e. 50% of their molecules are dextrorotated ( or + or R, rectus) and 50% levorotated ( or–
or S, sinister), only levorotated catecholamines are used as
vasoconstrictors, resulting in a more potent effect (as well
as higher toxicity). Levo epinephrine is 15–20 times more
potent and more toxic than the dextro form (Table6.5),
while racemic forms are half as potent and toxic.

epinephrine action is mediated by two receptors, although
it was Raymond Ahlquist who actually typified the two
types of adrenoreceptors: alpha (α) or stimulant and beta
(β) or inhibitory receptors (Alquist1948).
Each type was later subdivided, β receptors into β
tors, located primarily in the heart as well as in adipose
tissue and the intestine, and the more widely distributed β
receptors. Their purpose is to relax the smooth muscle in
blood vessels and bronchi (Lands etal.1967).
The α receptors were found to consist, firstly, of
post- synaptic α
receptors located in the tunica media (edge
1
of the tunica adventitia). Their vasoconstrictive action is
triggered by the exogenous catecholamines carried in the
bloodstream and the norepinephrine released by nerve
endings. The pre- synaptic α
receptors in the sympathetic
2
nerve endings block the release of norepinephrine on
activation. When located in the tunica intima of vessels
they constrict the blood vessels on activation, similar to the
response to exogenous catecholamines carried in the
bloodstream (Langer1974; Langer and Hicks1984).
Today, information deriving from the isolation of the
pure proteins comprising adrenoreceptors and functional
pharmacological studies suggests the existence of subtypes

The identification of adrenoreceptor subtypes and the
characterization of their functions may clear the way for
the design of future drugs with an optimal pharmacological spectrum (Bylund etal.1994; Hieble2000).
Adrenoreceptors are transmembrane receptors with an
alpha- helix structure that span the cell membrane seven
times. They are G protein-
coupled receptors, i.e. they activate the G proteins, intracellular “switches” that help regulate cell function (Ostrowski etal.1992). The various parts
of this helix structure are depicted schematically in
Figure6.3 (Wolfe and Molinoff1988; Ruffolo Jr etal.1991;
Ostrowski etal.1992; Coman etal.2009).
● The transmembrane segments or domains are the seven
“pieces” that span the cell membrane. They are shown as
tubes because each one is two to four amino acids thick
and labeled with indoarabic numerals (Figure6.3).
● Six hydrophilic connecting loops connect the seven
transmembrane domains, three of which are extracellular (E) and the other three intracellular or cytoplasmic
(C). They are shown as lines because each chain is just
one amino acid thick.
● The COOH terminal is intracellular and the NH
termi-
2
nal is extracellular.
● The extracellular segment has two glycosilation
zones (Y).
Each adrenoreceptor, with around 400–560 amino acids,
has a molecular weight of 45–70
kDa (Ruffolo Jr etal.1991;
Ostrowski etal.1992; Coman etal.2009). Adrenoreceptors

differ primarily in the composition of their C3 and
cytoplasmic terminal zones (Ruffolo Jr etal.1991).
Today catecholamines are believed to bind to the extracellular portion of the receptors between transmembrane
domains 3 and 4 (Ostrowski etal.1992). The lipid solubility coefficient is consequently unimportant in vasoconstrictor sympathomimetics because contact is made on the
surface of the membrane and not, as in local anesthetics,
inside the sodium channel.
Not all receptors are stimulated by vasoconstrictive
sympathomimetics, nor do all these vasoconstrictors
exhibit the same potency. Table 6.6 summarizes their
properties: as epinephrine is the most potent catecholamine and stimulates all four main receptors (α
), it is assigned an activity of 100%. It is fourfold
and β

more potent than norepinephrine (Furchgott 1972) and
six to seven times more potent than levonordefrin
(Robertson etal.1984). Adrenoreceptor distribution and
the major effects of their stimulation are given in Table6.7
(Keiser2001; Goldstein2001). As these receptors tend to
seek equilibrium (receptor dynamics), when large quantities of catecholamines are present in the blood for lengthy
periods of time they adapt by becoming less sensitive to
stimulation. In contrast, when the receptors are not
exposed to catecholamines they tend to be overstimulated
by adrenergic amines (Brown and Rhodus2005).
Systemic Effects
Of the many effects induced on the body by vasoconstrictive sympathomimetics (Keiser 2001; Goldstein 2001),
the ones of greatest interest to dental clinicians are
discussed below.

Circulatory System
The arteries and veins of organs, muscles, viscera (lungs,
kidneys, genitourinary tract, etc.) have α
receptors. As α
and α2 receptors prevail in most of these
1
, α2, and β2
1
vessels, they are constricted by sympathomimetic amines,
raising (primarily systolic) blood pressure and peripheral
resistance. Skeletal muscle and some abdominal viscera
vessels bear readily stimulated vasodilating β
receptors
2
that tend to lower (primarily diastolic) blood pressure.
Epinephrine stimulates α
and α2 receptors, inducing
1
vasoconstriction and raising (primarily systolic) blood
pressure. It also stimulates vasodilating β
receptors in
2
skeletal muscle, which tends to lower (primarily diastolic)
blood pressure; by balancing systolic and diastolic, it tends
to stabilize blood pressure (Annex 15). Systolic and diastolic
blood pressure rise simultaneously only when large quantities of epinephrine are injected, stimulating skeletal muscle α receptors (Campbell1977).
By stimulating only the α receptors, norepinephrine, and
less intensely levonordefrin, induce a general rise in both
systolic and diastolic blood pressure, given the absence or
weakness of the compensatory vasodilating effect induced
(Annex 15).

Respiratory Tract
Here the prevalent effect is receptor β2 stimulation, with
relaxation of the bronchial muscles and increased air
ingress in the lungs attendant on bronchodilation. That
effect is induced by epinephrine almost exclusively because
it is the sole catecholamine that stimulates these receptors
effectively (Himms-
Endocrine System andMetabolism
Hagen1972).
Catecholamines stimulate bodily metabolism by raising
the number of nutrients to the heart and skeletal muscle,
increasing oxygen consumption by 15–30% via the β recep-
tors to prepare the body for the fight-
or- flight response.
Catecholamines activate glycogenolysis in the skeletal
muscles (β
liver (α
) and glycogenolysis and neoglucogenesis in the
2
, β2), releasing glucose into the blood and raising
1
blood glucose levels, a condition that may be highly detrimental to uncontrolled diabetics. By stimulating the β
receptors in the pancreas, catecholamines intensify insulin
release and subsequent glucose entry into the cells, although
high levels of epinephrine activate the α
receptors, notably
2
reducing insulin release (Table6.7) (Annex 16).
In adipose tissue, via α
, β1, and especially β3 receptors,
2
sympathomimetics induce lipolysis, with the release of
glycerol, free fatty acids, and even ketone bodies.
Another effect of stimulating β
receptors stimulation is
2
hypokalemia, a reduction in plasma potassium levels.
While under normal circumstances these actions are of no
consequence, in patients taking digoxin (a cardiac
stimulant) they may favor heart arrhythmias (Meechan
and Rawlins1988; Meechan etal.1991).
Uterus
This organ has α1 receptors that stimulate contraction and
receptors that favor relaxation, although it is highly
β
2
impacted by the menstrual cycle and pregnancy.
By acting on both types of receptors (contraction-
simulating α
and relaxation- stimulating β2), epinephrine
1
has a neutral effect on the uterus, inhibiting contraction
during pregnancy.
As norepinephrine acts primarily on α
contraction-
1
stimulating receptors, it intensifies uterus contraction during pregnancy and with it the risk of premature labor or
miscarriage (Stepke et al. 1994). As levonordefrin acts on
neither receptor, it barely affects the uterus.
Vasoconstrictive Effect
Like the vessels in the skin and mucosa, those in oral
tissue (gums, alveolar mucosa, submucosa, periodontium, etc.) have α
and α2 receptors (Goldstein 2001;
1
Keiser 2001). That, together with the paucity of
β receptors, explains why the vasoconstrictive effect of
sympathomimetic amines prevails in these areas. These
pharmaceuticals induce vasoconstriction defined by a
series of special characteristics.
1) They act on the entire microcirculatory system, contract-
ing arterioles, meta-
arterioles, precapillary sphincters,
and venules (Berde and Cerletti1964; Altura etal.1965;
Burcher etal.1977; Olgart and Gazelius1977).
2) They penetrate tissues, in particular the vasa nervorum
of nerve trunks, very effectively due to their low molecular weight (Burcher et al. 1977; Olgart and
Gazelius1977).
3) The vasoconstrictive effect is immediate (Burcher
etal.1977; Lindorf1979), with the effect of epinephrine
peaking in 3 minutes and lasting around 60 minutes
(Lindorf1979).
4) Hypoxia occurs in infiltrated tissue usually due to the
2
rise in local oxygen consumption and decline in oxygen
supply due to intense vasoconstriction (Klingenström
and Westermar 1964). That in turn induces rebound
vasodilation, mediated primarily by epinephrine and
norepinephrine (Klingenström and Westermar 1964),
which induces a response in 2–3 hours (Lindorf1979).
Epinephrine has a vasoconstrictive effect four times
more potent than that of norepinephrine (Furchgott1972)
and six to seven times more potent than that of levonordefrin (Robertson etal.1984) (Table6.6).

Catecholamine Metabolism
Neural sympathomimetic amines (epinephrine and
norepinephrine) are released into the circulatory system in
two ways.
1) Norepinephrine originates primarily in sympathetic
nerve endings, with only small amounts released by the
adrenal medulla (Landsberg and Young 1980;
Goldstein2001).
2) Epinephrine is supplied almost exclusively by the adre-
nal medulla (Kopin 1989; Goldstein 2001). Of the
catecholamines released by the medulla, around 80–85%
are epinephrine and the rest norepinephrine.
In the circulatory system 50–60% of these amines bind to
plasmatic proteins, primarily albumin (Landsberg and
Young1980), and have a very short (1
minute) mean halflife in the plasma (Lund1951; Whitby etal.1961). They are
inactivated in two ways (Landsberg and Young 1980;
Trendelenburg1988; Goldstein2001):
1) Uptake 1. After the post- synaptic release of norepineph-
rine, the noradrenergic nerve endings recapture over
two- thirds of the neurotransmitter (Kopin 1989;
Eisenhofer etal.2004), storing it in cytoplasmic vesicles
for reuse or metabolizing it by monoamino- oxidase
(MAO)-
mediated deamination in the ribosome membrane. Small amounts of exogenous epinephrine and
norepinephrine administered with local anesthetics are
also metabolized along this pathway.
2) Uptake 2. Non- nervous cells originating primarily in
the liver, but also in the kidneys, lungs, intestines, and
other organs, capture circulating catecholamines,
which they metabolize by a number of pathways.
● As noted, deamination is mediated by ribosomal
MAO, converting catecholamines into aldehydes.
● O- methylation is catalyzed by the cytoplasmic
enzyme catechol-
O- methyltransferase (COMT).
COMT acts directly on the catecholamines or their
MAO- deaminated metabolites by methylizing one
of the catechol- OH groups to produce new methoxy derivatives. This is the predominant catabolic
pathway for exogenous catecholamines (Eisenhofer
etal.2004).
● Conjugation takes place primarily in the gastrointesti-
nal tract and other mesenteric organs (Landsberg1976;
Eisenhofer etal.2004).
Interestingly, levonordefrin, due to its methyl group in
position 1 (Figure 6.1), is protected from MAO and can
therefore only be inactivated by COMT (Jastak etal.1995).
There are two pathways for eliminating catecholamines
and their metabolites.
1) Liver gall is the minority pathway (Landsberg and
Young1980).
2) Urine via the kidneys is the prevalent pathway and, as
shown in Annex 12, only around 5% of epinephrine and
norepinephrine are eliminated unchanged.
Annex 12 describes the metabolic pathways for epinephrine degradation and the formation of its metabolites,
along with the enzymes involved, while Annex 11lists the
major pharmacokinetic variables.
Epinephrine
Epinephrine was first isolated in 1901 by Jokichi Takamine
and Thomas Aldrich (Takamine1901; Aldrich 1901) and
began to be used as a vasoconstrictor in local anesthetics in
1903 by Heinrich Braun (Braun 1903). Epinephrine is a
natural hormone and neurotransmitter found in the brain
(Mefford etal. 1978) and produced and released into the
blood by the adrenal medulla (Kopin1989; Goldstein2001).
Initially denominated epinephrine by John Jacob Abel
(Abel1899), it was renamed suprarenin by Austrian chemist Otto von Fürth (von Fürth 1900) and adrenalin by
Takamine (Takamine1901). Today it is known in US pharmacology (USP38) as epinephrine, further to an American
Medical Association Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry
decision (Smith 1920), while in European pharmacology,
the World Health Organization, and the International
Union of Pure Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), it goes by the
term adrenaline (Navarro2003).
The levo isomer (levo-
epinephrine =- epinephrine) is
used in clinical settings, as for all other catecholamines,
because it has been observed to be 15–20 times more potent
than the dextro form (Cushny1909; Welsh1955; Hondrum
etal.1993). Epinephrine stimulates α
, α2, β1, and β2 recep-
1
tors (Table6.8) intensely and in human beings it has been
shown to induce metabolic and hemodynamic effects
10- fold more potent than norepinephrine (Clutter et al.
1980). Its vasoconstrictive effect in humans is around four
times more potent than exhibited by norepinephrine. For
that reason epinephrine is taken as the model and assigned
a vasoconstrictive potency value of 100%, to which norepinephrine is normalized to 25% (Table6.6).
The rise in epinephrine in the blood during dentistry
treatments is associated not with stress or pain, but rather
essentially with the amount contained in local anesthetic
injections (Annex 16). A close relationship can be observed
between the number of cartridges injected and the levels of
epinephrine in the blood because, like the natural events
that raise epinephrine levels, exogenous epinephrine is
associated with metabolic and hemodynamic responses
(Annex 16).
