Description

Ethyl 4-(butylamino)benzoate is a white crystalline solid that has been shown to be an effective local anesthetic. It undergoes hydrolysis by phosphotungstic acid, which releases the active butylamine molecule. The butylamine molecule is then able to form hydrogen bonds with the negatively charged nerve endings in the spine, leading to depolarization and lack of sensation. Ethyl 4-butylamino benzoate has been used for epidural anesthesia, as well as for bronchial and mesomorphic inhalation anaesthetics. This drug also inhibits expiratory flow, which may be due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds with chloride ions in bronchial secretions.
