Eugenol [Eugenol USP]
Eugenol, is a phenol found in oil of cloves, oil of pimento, and other oils. Eugenol
occurs as a colourless or slightly yellow optically inactive liquid, with an odour
of cloves and a pungent spicy taste. It should be entirely and readily soluble in
diluted solution of sodium hydroxide. Eugenol should be preserved in well-stoppered
bottles, protected from the light.
Eugenol is an antiseptic and is not toxic. It has some local anaesthetic properties
and is a useful solvent of other local anaesthetics, such as pure cocaine, or erythrophloeine
hydrochloride for use in dental practice. It is also used in combination with astringents
as a mouth wash after tooth extraction. An antiseptic ointment of eugenol with hydrous
wool fat has been used for eczema. Eugenol is administered, in the same manner as
oil of cloves in phthisis, as a carminative and antiseptic.
