What is one drug that replaced drugs that were first shown to be an anesthetic at the Ether Dome?
Diethyl ether Diethyl ether, or simply ether, is an organic compound in the ether class with the formula 2O . It is a colorless, highly volatile flammable liquid. It is commonly used as a solvent in laboratories and as a starting fluid for some engines. It was formerly used as a general anesthetic, until non-flammable drugs were developed, such as halothane. It has been used as a recreational drug to cause intoxication.
Acetylpropionylmorphine Acetylpropionylmorphine is an opiate analogue that is a derivative of morphine. It was developed in the early 1900's after first being synthesised in Great Britain in 1875 but shelved along with heroin and various other esters of morphine, but was never used medically, instead being widely sold as one of the first "designer drugs" for around five years following the introduction of the first international restrictions on the sale of heroin in 1925. It is described as being virtually identical to heroin and morphine in its effects, and consequently was itself banned internationally in 1930 by the Health Committee of the League of Nations, in order to prevent its sale as an unscheduled alternative to heroin.
