History[edit | edit source]
Butanilicaine was first synthesized in the early 20th century. It was developed as a local anesthetic to provide pain relief during minor surgical procedures.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Butanilicaine works by blocking sodium channels in the nerve cells, preventing the transmission of nerve impulses. This results in a loss of sensation in the area where the drug is applied.

Butanilicaine is used in a variety of medical procedures, including dental procedures, minor surgery, and diagnostic procedures. It is also used in the treatment of certain types of chronic pain.
