Alkyl and phenyl side chain amino acid were reacted with benzoyl chloride and phthalyl anhydride to give benzoyl amino acids and phthalyl amino acids respectively.
Materials and methods: These compounds were tested for their local anesthetic effect as ointment using Hot-Plate technique in mice and as sodium salt solution using Pin-Pricking technique in rabbits.Results showed that the local anesthetic effect of the prepared ointment using a Hot-plate test on mice revealed that all benzoyl amino acids were significant anesthetic effect. For Phthalyl amino acids, a hot-plate test for the local anesthetic effect showed no significant effect for Phthalylanine and Phthylvaline and significant effect for Phthylalglycine, Phthalyl methionine and Phthalylphenyl alanine compared with Vaseline. All studied Phthalyl amino acids showed a lowered local anesthetic effect than lidocaine ointment. For Pin Pricking test all benzoyl and Phthalyl amino acid exhibit anesthesia but lower than lidocaine solution. Conclusion: Prepared of benzoyl amino acids and phthalyl amino acids have significant local anesthetic effects, benzoglycine ointment showed a significant effect compared with other a significant benzoyl valine, Benzoyl leucine and Benzoyl phenylalanine. All studied Phthalyl amino acids showed a lowered local anesthetic effect than lidocaine ointment. And significant effect for Phthalylglycine, Phthalylmethionine and Phthalyl phenyl alanine compared with Vaseline (negative control).
