Site 1 sodium channel blockers (S1SCBs such as tetrodotoxin [TTX] and the saxitoxins) are ultrapotent local anesthetics that bind extracellular domains of voltage-dependent sodium channels [1]. S1SCBs do not cross the blood brain barrier readily and have low affinity for the cardiac sodium channel isoform [2, 3], and so do not cause seizures [4] or arrhythmias, making TTX an attractive alternative to conventional local anesthetics [5, 6]. Local anesthesia with S1SCBs has been described in numerous reports in animal models [[7],[8],[9],[10],[11]], and is now starting to be applied in humans [[12],[13]]. However, due to their very hydrophilic nature S1SCBs have limited penetration to peripheral nerves even with local injection, and require relatively high concentrations to achieve consistent nerve blockade [9]. Those high concentrations can be associated with systemic toxicity. One approach to enhancing the effect of S1SCBs has been to co-inject them with second or third drugs with adjuvantic effects [7, 8, 14, 15]. However, such couplings can entail the side-effects of the second drugs, such as the local tissue toxicity of “conventional” amino-amide and amino-ester local anesthetics or the vasoconstriction and/or tachycardia seen with epinephrine. An alternative approach is to enhance the penetration of S1SCBs to the neuronal surface. Previously we have shown that co-injection of TTX with chemical permeation enhancers could enhance the effect of S1SCBs, albeit with some adverse tissue reaction at high concentrations [16, 17].Ultrasound-mediated drug delivery has the potential to enhance nerve blockade without adverse tissue reaction. Acoustic waves can enhance drug delivery through the sclera [18], the stratum corneum [19, 20], across barriers within the gastrointestinal tract [21, 22], and the blood brain barrier [23, 24]. The effect of high-frequency ultrasound on drug flux across skin (sonophoresis) can be enhanced by exogenous microbubbles [25, 26].
