Pramocaine (INN and BAN also known as pramoxine or pramoxine HCI) is a topical anesthetic discovered at Abbott Laboratories in 1953 and used as an antipruritic. Chemically it is p-n butoxyphenyl gammamorpholinopropyl ether hydrochloride. During research and development pramoxine hydrochloride stood out among a series of alkoxy aryl alkamine ethers as an especially good topical local anesthetic agent.
