Azulene analogs of pharmacological agents III: acute toxicity and local anesthetic activity of azulylamides and azulenecarboxamides

J Pharm Sci. 1975 Jan;64(1):158-61. doi: 10.1002/jps.2600640137.

Abstract

This paper describes the acute toxicity of two azulylamides and six azulenecarboxamides and the nerve conduction-inhibiting properties of some of these compounds. The azulene derivatives are compared to their benzenoid prototypes, lidocaine and procainamide, as part of a continuing investigation of the biological properties of nonbenzenoid aromatic compounds.
