title: Synthesis and local anesthetic activity of some n-beta-diethylaminoethylnaphthalimides.
abstract: Some N-beta-diethylaminoethylnaphthalimides substituted in the 3 or 3 and 4 positions with alkoxy or butylamino groups or with alkoxy and amino groups (III) have been synthesized by reaction of the appropriate naphthalic anhydride with N,N-diethylethylenediamine. Some compounds (III) were tested to evaluate their anesthetic activity: compounds (III e) and (III f) have been shown to have a greater activity than lidocaine.
