	Acetanilides - N-Phenylacetamide. Precursor of many drugs, dyes and other compounds in chemical synthesis; formerly used as analgesic and antipyretic, but often causes lethal methemoglobinemia. Synonyms: acetylaniline; acetylaminobenzene; antifebrin.
	Benzoylarginine Nitroanilide - A chromogenic substrate that permits direct measurement of peptide hydrolase activity, e.g., papain and trypsin, by colorimetry. The substrate liberates p-nitroaniline as a chromogenic product.
	Bupivacaine - A widely used local anesthetic agent.
	Carbanilides
	Carboxin - A systemic agricultural fungicide and seed treatment agent.
	Encainide - One of the ANTI-ARRHYTHMIA AGENTS, it blocks SODIUM CHANNELS and slows conduction within the His-Purkinje system and myocardium.
	Flutamide - An antiandrogen with about the same potency as cyproterone in rodent and canine species.
	Prilocaine - A local anesthetic that is similar pharmacologically to LIDOCAINE. Currently, it is used most often for infiltration anesthesia in dentistry. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1992, p165)
	Propanil - A chlorinated anilide that is used as an herbicide.
	Salicylanilides - 2-Hydroxy-N-phenylbenzamides. N-phenyl substituted salicylamides. Derivatives have been used as fungicides, anti-mildew agents and topical antifungal agents. In concentrated form may cause irritation of skin and mucous membranes.
	Tocainide - An antiarrhythmic agent which exerts a potential- and frequency-dependent block of sodium channels.
