Which ion channel blockage does the primary mechanism of action of local anesthetics involves?

Inactivated, voltage-gated, Na+ channels

Which properties of the drug are the ionized form of local anesthetics is mainly responsible for?

Receptor binding-answer: d (katzung, pp 418, brunton, pp 371) local anesthetics are weak bases and in the in the body fluids they exist either as the uncharged base (nonionized form ) or as a cation (ionized form). since the non ionized form is lipid
