Local anesthetics can be either ester- or amide-based. Ester local anesthetics are generally unstable in solution and fast-acting, are rapidly metabolised by cholinesterases in the blood plasma and liver, [4] and more commonly induce allergic reactions. Amide local anesthetics are generally heat-stable, with a long shelf life (around two years).
Many local anesthetics fall into two general chemical classes, amino esters (top) and amino amides (bottom).

[1] [2] It is sold under the brand names Cincain, Nupercainal, Nupercaine and Sovcaine.
