I.AROMATIC RING
a) Ring Nature:
Lipophilic Portion
i) The aryl radical (Aromatic ring )attached directly to the carbonyl group enhances local anaesthetic activity. It is lipophilic centre of compound.

Most of the cases it is Carbocyclic and in few cases it is heterocyclic ring and their reactivity shown below

ii) The compounds containing aryl-vinyl group (Ar-CH = CH -) does not having local anaesthetic activity, because of the mesomeric effect of aryl radical does not extend to carbonyl group.
iii) Alicyclic and aryl aliphatic carboxylic acid esters are also active local anesthetics

Local anaesthetic activity improves if the aryl lipophilic center (Specially ortho or Para) has electron donor substitution but decreases with electron acceptor substituents. This is may be due to i) Electron releasing group alkoxy, amino and alkyl amino by releasing electron .. increases electron density of carbonyl oxygen.impart more stability to this group ..hence enhances the activity.
ii) Some believe that the electron releasing group (e.g. alkyl substitution CH3) in aryl group at ortho or Para position enhances the activity by providing steric hindrance to the hydrolysis of amide linkage and contributes lipid solubility. iii) The number of methyleneSomnath Mondal substituted to aryl moiety; the groups is maximum activity is achieved for the C4 to C6 homologues.

Ester linkage Local anesthetics are hydrolyzed in plasma by pseudo cholinesterase. One of the by-products of metabolism is paraaminobenzoic acid, the common cause of allergic reactions seen with these agents.
Where, as amide linkage Local anesthetics, are having very low incidence of allergic reaction as amides biotransformation depends on Hepatic metabolic enzymes due to which amides derivatives are having Longer duration of action than esters. True allergic reactions are rare (especially with lidocaine).

2-3 carbon short chain is optimum for local anesthetics activity, chain length more than 3 carbon atom decreases the activity.

The amino alkyl group is the hydrophilic part of molecule. In general amino alkyl group is not necessary for activity, but it is used to from water soluble salts. . Example : Benzocaine
Hence, depending, upon the nature of the nitrogen of the amino group, both activity of local anaesthetic and irritation property alters. Hence, Most of the available compounds are having tertiary nitrogen atom. For optimum activity, the Nitrogen must be Tertiary (3o) or Secondary (2o). But when the nitrogen atom is Primary (1o) both the activity and irritant properties changes i.e activity decreases and irritant property increases.
