RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 THE LOCAL ANESTHETIC ACTION OF p-AMINOBENZOATES OF DIETHYLAMINO-ETHOXY ALCOHOLS JF Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics JO J Pharmacol Exp Ther FD American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics SP 371 OP 374 VO 48 IS 3 A1 W. H. HORNE A1 R. L. SHRINER YR 1933 UL http://jpet.aspetjournals.org/content/48/3/371.abstract AB The local anesthetic action of compounds of the general formula [See formula in the PDF file] has been studied. It was found that where n = 1 the compound has low toxicity and high anesthetizing power. The introduction of the ether linkage in the side chain enables the molecule to cause surface anesthesia as well as injection anesthesia. The higher homologues (n = 2, 3, 4) are too irritating for use.
