Abstract:

The acute intravenous toxicities of a selection of three potential long-acting local anaesthetics belonging to the series of2- phenoxyethyldialkylamine were determined in mice. Two of the compounds were tertiary amines and the third a quaternary ammonium derivative.The I.V. median lethal dose, (LDso) of one of the tertiary compounds, 21A [N, N- diethyl-2- (2,6- diisopropyl) ethyl amine hydrochloride 1 was over 2.5 times that of lignocaine, while the other, 30A [N, N- diethyl-2- (4-sec-butyl) ethyl amine hydrochloride 1 had an LD50 of 1.5 times. On the other hand, the quaternary ammonium derivative FA [ N- benzyl-N-N- dimethyl -2- (2- tert- butyl) ethylamine chloride 1 was more toxic, with an LD50 value of one quarter of the standard. The test compounds, particularly compound 21A, seem to have good properties that would warrant further investigation as potential long-acting local anaesthetic agents.

PHARMACOLOGICAL STUDIES ON NOVEL BASIC AMINOALKYL ARYL ETHERS AS POTENTIAL LOCAL ANAESTHETICS

Following our previous investigations on certain new aminoalkyl aryl ethers, which showed promising and outstanding local anaesthetic properties, the local anaesthetic activity and duration of action of a further selection of four novel derivatives of the above-mentioned series, used as hydrochloride salts, have been determined by the ill vivo rat sciatic nerve test. These are: N,N-dimethyl...

INVESTIGATIONS ON THE DRUG-PROTEIN IN TERAC TION OF CERTAIN NEW POTENTIAL LOCAL ANAESTHETICS

Generally, plasma proteins owe their binding capacity to the presence of aminoacid units which enter into intra- and intermolecular hydrophobic bonding with a diverse range of endo- and exogenous chemical substances. The intermolecular interactions between the hydrophobic areas of drug molecules and those of plasma proteins play an important role in drug-macromolecular complex formation and...

RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN LIPOPHILIC CHARACTER AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF NEW POTENTIAL LONG-ACTING LOCAL ANESTHETICS

The partition coefficients (P-values) of certain new potential, stereoselective, reversible, long-acting local anesthetics have been determined in an n-octanol/ phosphate buffer system. These are derivatives of 2-phenoxyethyldialkylamine hydrochloride, and almost all of them are readily soluble in water. Their aqueous solutions have shown different absorption maxima, and these have been use...
