1. Benzocaine is a poorly soluble local anesthetic, an ester of para-aminobenzoic acid

2. Benzocaine is a chemical compound derived from para-aminobenzoic acid and ethanol. It is a white, odorless, crystalline powder

3. Benzocaine is a benzoate ester having 4-aminobenzoic acid as the acid component and ethanol as the alcohol component

4. The following spot tests for the isomeric aminobenzoic acids are described: identification of o-aminobenzoic acid by fluorescence of the alkali salts, identification of m-aminobenzoic acid by condensation with pyridine-2-aldehyde, and identification of the p-isomer by oxidation with alkali bromate.

5. The harmful effect of the sulfonamide is strictly reversible; the speed of recovery depends on the p-aminobenzoic acid concentration.

6. Also, ester-type local anesthetics such as Benzocaine are metabolized to para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) and should not be used in patients with …

7. What is Benzocaine? Benzocaine (chemical formula C 9 H 11 NO 2) is a widely used local anaesthetic.It is classified as an ester type of local anaesthetic (as opposed to an amide), due to the para-aminobenzoic acid in its structure.

8. Theo- andm-isomers accelerate this reaction in all investigated solutions. The standard rate constants are similar at the same degree of electrode coverage with these isomers in water and mixed solutions.p-Aminobenzoic acid inhibits the process of Zn(II)/Zn(Hg) electroreduction.
