The “Eucaines” are two closely allied synthetic bases, which were originally differentiated as eucaine “A” and eucaine “B,” but are now designated as “Alpha-eucaine” and “Beta-eucaine,” respectively, alpha-eucaine being a synthetic derivative of triacetonamine, while beta-eucaine is a synthetic derivative of vinyl-diacetonekalmine. Both of these bases are supplied as hydrochlorides and are recommended as substitutes for cocaine, over which they are claimed to have certain advantages. They are described under alpha-eucaine hydrochloride and beta-eucaine hydrochloride.
