Using quantitative data previously reported for the penetration of local anesthetics into lecithin monolayers, the effects of surface and subphase concentrations of anesthetics on the inhibition of pancreatic phospholipase A2 action on didecanoyl phosphatidylcholine monolayers was investigated. Inhibition as a function of subphase concentration of anesthetic was in the order: dibucaine > tetracaine > butacaine > lidocaine = procaine. Inhibition as a function of surface concentration showed no obvious correlation; procaine inhibited at a very low surface concentration, followed by lidocaine at a somewhat higher concentration, and tetracaine, butacaine and dibucaine only at rather high concentrations. Ultraviolet difference spectroscopy indicated an interaction between lidocaine and enzyme in the subphase. Fluorescence studies showed that lidocaine is a competitive inhibitor of enzyme-lipid interface interaction. It is proposed that the more surface-active anesthetics inhibit by surface effects while the less surface-active anesthetics (lidocaine and procaine) inhibit by interaction with the enzyme in the subphase, which prevents enzyme penetration at the monolayer interface.
