AB  - Cocaine  is  a  naturally  occurring  compound.  It  was  the  first  anesthetic  to  be  discovered  and  is  the  only  naturally  occurring  local  anesthetic;  all  others  are  synthetically  derived.  Cocaine  was  introduced  in  Europe  in  1860  after  its  isolation  from  coca  leaves  by  German  chemist  Albert  Niemann  (1834–1861).  Sigmund  Freud  (1856–1939),  the  noted  Austrian  psychoanalyst,  was  an  early  proponent  of  its  medicinal  uses.  He  encouraged  a  physician  colleague,  Dr.  Carl  Koller  (1857–1944)  to  experiment  with  its  analgesic  properties.
