Topical anesthetics temporarily inhibit the conduction of impulses from sensory nerve fibers. These drug s may be used to relieve itching and pain due to skin conditions, such as minor bums, fungus infections, insect bites, rashes, sunburn, and plant poisoning, such as poison ivy. Some are applied to mucous membranes as local anesthetics. Examples of local anesthetics include benzocaine (Lanacane), dibucadne (Nupereainal), and lidocaine (Xylocadne). 

Acarbose (Precose) and miglitol (Glyset) are dosed similarly. Therapy is initiated with a very low dose (25 mg with one meal a day) and increased very gradually (over several months) to a maximum of 50 mg three times daily for patients weighing 60 kg or more, or 100 mg three times daily for patients above 60 kg. The drugs should be taken with the first bite of the meal so that the drug is present to inhibit enzyme activity. 

On the basis of this argument it is probable that the tris-p-halogen substituted trityl salts will be useful initiators for the polymerisation of isobutylene since their ionisation potentials probably exceed 690 kj mol1 [38], and the p-substitution would inhibit the back-biting reactions which make both trityl and dityl salts unstable [39]. 

Table 1). Unfortunately, it is often difficult to judge from literature data, into which class of allomone or kairomone a particular compound should be placed (see also reference 15). Compounds which are referred to as "antifeedants" in the literature are Involved in the inhibition of biting and piercing and inhibition maintenance of feeding. These compounds generally do not kill the Insect but cause starvation because they prevent feedi ng (54).
