title: Novel water soluble 2,6-dimethoxyphenyl ester derivatives with intravenous anaesthetic activity.
abstract: A number of water soluble bis-amino-2,6-dimethoxyphenyl ester derivatives were found to exhibit improved anaesthetic activity in mice relative to propofol 1. Of the analogues disclosed, 44 was further profiled in rodents and found to be a superior agent to propofol for the induction and maintenance of anaesthesia.
