Movie
Hello everyone,
I'm subtitling a movie (fiction) where a character uses a drug in which the label says "eccaine". I wasn't able to find this word in any technical/medical dictionary, however I found it in an Italian dictionary (https://bit.ly/3FWCAoD). Anyway, I found a book (https://bit.ly/3mRKnLE) which contains the eccaine's formula (C20H25NO4). It turns out that this is the formula of Acetyldihydrocodeine, but I think the molecular structure is different.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

ecaína
Aparentemente é uma droga fictícia, então sugiro traduzir com base na similaridade de traduções já existentes:
procaine > procaína
cocaine > cocaína
portanto
eccaine > ecaína

ecaína
Said formula, C20H25NO4, suggests it’s an hallucinogenic. You've got all the right ingredients: C, H, N and O. But everything's fictitious, so I also recommend a fictitious name: ecaína
