Inhibition of sensory neuronal TRPs contributes to anti-nociception by butamben.

Neurosci. Lett. 506(2) , 297-302, (2012)

Butamben (n-butyl-p-aminobenzoic acid) is a pain-relieving local anesthetic for topical use. Blockade of voltage-gated channel expressed in the peripheral sensory neurons has been suggested as a mechanism of action. Its effects on another sensory neuronal cha...

Butamben derivatives enhance BMP-2-stimulated commitment of C2C12 cells into osteoblasts with induction of voltage-gated potassium channel expression.

Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 21 , 7363-6, (2011)

As the primary step for 'drug repositioning', we evaluated the effect of 2000 drugs and drug candidates on the commitment of bi-potential mesenchymal precursor C2C12 cells into osteoblasts in the presence of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2 and found that b...

Benzoate X receptors alpha and beta are pharmacologically distinct and do not function as xenobiotic receptors.

J. Biol. Chem. 277(46) , 43691-7, (2002)

The Xenopus benzoate nuclear hormone receptors, BXRalpha and BXRbeta, share 82% identity within their ligand-binding domains and are classified as members of the NR1I2 subfamily that includes the mammalian steroid and xenobiotic receptor, SXR/PXR. Although al...

Nerve blocks with 5% butamben suspension for the treatment of chronic pain syndromes.

Reg. Anesth. Pain Med. 23(4) , 395-401, (1998)

Butamben is a non-water-soluble local anesthetic that can be prepared as an aqueous suspension for nerve blocks. This report describes the use of 5% butamben suspension for the treatment of chronic pain of cancer and noncancer origin.The clinical courses of 7...

Analgesic synergy between topical morphine and butamben in mice.

Anesth. Analg. 97(4) , 1103-7, table of contents, (2003)

Studies have revealed that lidocaine is an effective analgesic when applied topically to the tail of a mouse in the radiant heat tail-flick assay. In addition, the topical combination of lidocaine with morphine revealed synergistic interactions between the tw...

Identification of a yellow impurity in aged samples of aqueous butamben suspension: evidence for the oxidative degradation of poly(ethylene glycol).

J. Pharm. Sci. 89(6) , 766-70, (2000)

Butamben (butyl p-aminobenzoate) has been formulated to provide long-acting treatment for chronic pain. The suspension, which contains poly(ethylene glycol) and polysorbate 80, was found to yellow under ambient conditions if not adequately protected from oxyg...

The antinociceptive and histologic effect of sciatic nerve blocks with 5% butamben suspension in rats.

Anesth. Analg. 94(3) , 711-6; table of contents, (2002)

Butamben, a lipophilic local anesthetic of the ester class, produces a differential nerve block of long duration. Epidural and peripheral nerve blocks with butamben, formulated as a 5%--10% suspension, result in prolonged analgesia without significant motor b...

Comparison of epidural butamben to celiac plexus neurolytic block for the treatment of the pain of pancreatic cancer.

Clin. J. Pain 16(4) , 304-9, (2000)

To compare pain relief in metastatic pancreatic cancer patients between neurolytic celiac plexus block (NCPB) and epidural 5% butamben suspension (EBS), a material-based delivery system of a local anesthetic that produces a long-lasting differential nerve blo...

Particle size determination of a flocculated suspension using a light-scattering particle size analyzer.

Drug Dev. Ind. Pharm. 24(11) , 1089-93, (1998)

Microscopy is a useful and direct method for measuring the particle size of a suspension because, in addition to the particle size and size distribution, it provides visual detection of the shape and state of aggregation of the particles in the suspension. Ho...

Analgesic efficacy of topical butamben picrate.

J. Am. Podiatr. Med. Assoc. 85(12) , 738-40, (1995)

Over the past generation, advents in topical antibiotics and oral analgesia have obscured butamen and its family of topical anesthetics. Using a modified version of the McGill University pain questionnaire, this study attempts to establish the efficacy and cl...
