Hexylcaine
A local anesthetic that blocks sodium channels in nerve cell membranes to prevent pain signal transmission, used topically for anesthesia of mucous membranes in procedures such as endoscopy. It was used historically for topical anesthesia but has largely been replaced by agents with better-established safety profiles. Its mechanism of action is similar to other ester-type local anesthetics.
