Metabolite Identification
Common NameMonoethylglycinexylidide
DescriptionMonoethylglycinexylidide, also known as norlidocaine or MEGX, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha-amino acid amides. These are amide derivatives of alpha-amino acids. Monoethylglycinexylidide is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Monoethylglycinexylidide is a metabolite of lidocaine, also known as lignocaine. Lidocaine (trade name: Xylocaine) is a common local anesthetic and antiarrhythmic drug. Lidocaine is used topically to relieve itching, burning, and pain from skin inflammations, is injected as a dental anesthetic, or is injected as a local anesthetic for minor surgery (Wikipedia). Monoethylglycinexylidide and formaldehyde can be biosynthesized from lidocaine via the enzymes cytochrome P450 1A2 and cytochrome P450 3A4.
