Anesthetic, Hypothermic, Myorelaxant and Anticonvulsant Effects of Synthetic Eugenol Derivatives and Natural Analogues

Abstract
Nine newly synthesized eugenol derivatives [acetyleugenol, .beta.-glucosyleugenol, phenyleugenol, benzyleugenol, phenylethyleugenol, 4''-aminophenyleugenol, 4''-nitrophenyleugenol, 2'',4''-dinitrophenyleugenol and dehydrodieugenol] were investigated in rats or mice as to their anesthetic, hypothermic, myorelaxant and anticonvulsant effects. Additional pharmacological activity which appeared during the experiments is described. For comparative purposes, 6 naturally-occurring eugenol analogs [eugenol, methyleugenol isoeugenol, methylisoeugenol, estragol and safrole] were included in the study. The results are further discussed as to possible structure-activity relationships between the test compounds and the 4 investigated effects.
