My dentist used this one on me today. Said it's stronger and shorter acting than lidocaine. Apparently it took forever for the FDA to let it into
the US. My mouth is sure numb, so I guess it works.
nice mol.

that is a complex looking molecule, how new is this drug? do you know which of the functional groups are biologically active or have i got to do my
own reading

Well, there's such a diversity of local anesthetics nowadays that they don't all fit the same mold.
Here is a good link

As far as the complexity: I just got a new Merck Index. This chemical is *nothing* compared to a lot of the pharmaceuticals nowadays...
thanks

thanks for the link.
is that the 13th ed. or have merck a newer one?
suppose it is not the most complicated but it does have a lot of varied groups attached

Yep, 13th edition. My well-worn 8th edition get an honorable retirement.
There's some truly wacky anesthetics nowadays.
