Tolycaine is an amide local anaesthetic. Tolycaine induces convulsions by modification of monoamines in rat brain. Tolycaine significantly inhibited Na+-dependent active uptake of methyl alpha-D-glucoside and L-leucine while leaving uptake of D-fructose (facilitated diffusion) and 2-deoxy-D-glucose (passive diffusion) unaffected.
Tolycaine exhibits good anesthetic effects on mice. Tolycaine (140 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) produced a significant elevation of noradrenaline and 5-hydroxytryptamine levels in all brain regions in the convulsive state from the levels in the non-convulsive state. Their levels returned to normal during the postconvulsive state.

| Animal A (mg/kg) = Animal B (mg/kg) multiplied by | Animal B Km |
| Animal A Km |
For example, to modify the dose of Compound A used for a mouse (20 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 20 mg/kg by the Km factor for a mouse and then divide by the Km factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for Compound A of 10 mg/kg.
