-(1-PIPERIDYL) PROPIOPHENONE HCl1 AND
-DIETHYLAMINOETHYL p-n-HEXYLOXYBENZILATE HCl
1 Department of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, S. M. S. Medical College, Jaipur, Rajasthan
A pharmacologic comparison of a p-alkoxy substituted basic ester of benzilic acid and a p-alkoxy basic propiophenone has revealed the following: a. Both possess local anesthetic activity, the benzilic acid ester being more potent, but slower in onset of action and more irritant. b. Neither possesses cholinolytic nor cholinergic properties. c. Both depress arterial pressure partially by decreasing cardiac output and by "direct" vasodilatation.
Studies in man with 4n-butoxy
-(1-piperidyl) propiophenone (dyclonine) indicate that it is a highly effective relatively non-irritating surface anesthetic agent, which can safely be employed in ophthalmic surgery.
