Lidocaine Base is a local anesthetic of the amide type, primarily used in medicine for numbing tissue in a specific area before minor surgical procedures, dental treatments, and various skin applications. It works by blocking sodium channels in nerve cells, which interrupts the transmission of pain signals to the brain, resulting in effective local or regional anesthesia.
Lidocaine Base has the chemical formula C₁₄H₂₂N₂O (CAS Number: 137-58-6) and appears as a white crystalline powder. Its molecular weight is 234.34 g/mol, and it has a boiling point of approximately 180–182°C.

Lidocaine Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of Lidocaine, a widely used local anesthetic and antiarrhythmic agent. It is a white or off-white crystalline powder with a slightly bitter and numbing taste, soluble in water, ethanol, chloroform, and benzene but insoluble in diethyl ether. The molecular formula of Lidocaine Hydrochloride is C14H23ClN2O, with a molecular weight of approximately 270.8 g/mol.
It acts by blocking voltage-gated sodium channels in nerve cells, inhibiting nerve impulse conduction to provide localized numbness for dental, surgical, and minor medical procedures. Additionally, it has class IB antiarrhythmic properties useful in certain cardiac conditions.
Physically, Lidocaine Hydrochloride melts at around 80-82°C, is stable under acidic and alkaline conditions, and can be autoclaved without significant degradation.
