Spilanthol (affinin) is a fatty acid amide isolated from Acmella oleracea. [1] It is believed to be responsible for the local anesthetic properties of the plant. [2]Spilanthol permeates the human skin [3] and the inside lining of the cheeks in the mouth (buccal mucosa), [4] resulting in local as well as systemic pharmacological concentrations.
The spilanthol proved effective at killing mosquitoes, with a 24-hour LD 100 of 12.5 μg/mL, and 50% mortality at 6.25 μg/mL. The mixture of spilanthol isomers produced a 66% weight reduction of corn earworm larvae at 250 μg/mL after 6 days. [18]
Numerous species once included in Spilanthes are now considered members of other genera. The best known of these is the toothache plant, which was formerly Spilanthes acmella but is now considered part of its own genus and is referred to as Acmella oleracea. [7]

Many local anesthetics fall into two general chemical classes, amino esters (top) and amino amides (bottom). A local anesthetic (LA) is a medication that causes absence of all sensation (including pain) in a specific body part without loss of consciousness, [1] providing local anesthesia, as opposed to a general anesthetic, which eliminates all sensation in the entire body and causes ...
