;Drug uses
2,6-Xylidine is used in the production of a slew of pharmaceutical drugs. For Example:
- Droxicainide
- Etidocaine
- Lidamidine
- Lidocaine (Lignocaine)
- Lidofenin
- Lidoflazine
- Nefiracetam
- Pincainide
- Ranolazine
- Tocainide
- Mepivacaine
- Bupivacaine
- Ropivacaine
A lot of these can be grouped as local anesthetics. The rationale behind using the ortho-dimethylated aniline design is to shield the molecule from enzymes that metabolize the drug by amide degradation.
