Documented Uses

• Propyl p-aminobenzoate is used as local anesthetic and antipruritic.
• The relations between chemical structures, physicochemical properties, chemical reactivity and local anesthetic activity in the iso anesthesin series was studied. The duration of action of propesin was 14 min in rabbits.
• Some local anesthetics.../are/ poorly soluble in water and...too slowly absorbed to be toxic. They can be applied directly to wounds and ulcerated surfaces where they remain localized for long periods of time... The most important members...are benzocaine, USP (...anesthesin)... /anesthesin/
• Synthesis and properties: Buchi et al, Arzneimittel-Forsch, 18: 791 (1968). Alternate prepn: Kadaba et al, J Pharm Sci, 58 1422 (1969).
• Orally or sc administered PABA esters are rapidly hydrolyzed by mammalian system to the alcohol and the free acid. /PABA esters/
