Description

Ethyl 4-aminobenzoate is an organic compound that belongs to the group of drugs called local anesthetics. It is a colorless and odorless solid, which can be found as a crystalline polymorph. The chemical stability of ethyl 4-aminobenzoate has been investigated by thermogravimetric analysis and it was found to have excellent thermal stability. This drug has been shown to inhibit the function of sodium channels in rat neurons, thus blocking nerve conduction. Benzocaine is one of the most commonly used local anesthetic drugs that inhibits this ion channel. Acyl chains are important for oxygen transport in the body and may contribute to the clinical relevance of this drug's activity. Ethyl 4-aminobenzoate reacts with benzalkonium chloride in acidic solution (pH 2) to form benzocaine and benzoic acid, which can be detected using analytical methods such as gas chromatography or HPLC.
