Benzocaine: Review on a Drug with Unfold Potential
View through CrossRef
:
Benzocaine is well-known for its role as an anesthetic agent and largely used in oral ulcers,
ear pain and dental complications. Along with lidocaine and other local anesthetics, benzocaine has
marked it as an anesthetic agent in surgical procedures and as Na+ channels blocker, as well. Analogues
of benzocaine have been found to possess biological potentials including antibacterial, antifungal
and anti-cancer. Some derivatives were found to have conspicuous action against tuberculosis. The
current review focuses to explore the century-long potential of the molecule and its analogs that have
appeared in the literature. Furthermore, highlighting the biological potential of benzocaine and its analogues
shall open-up new dimensions of future research to design more potent analogues.
