Procaine is a local anesthetic that is used to reduce the pain of needle insertion. It also has a bactericidal effect on staphylococcus and epidermidis, and is commonly used as a disinfectant for surgical instruments. Procaine can be detoxified by acetylation with phenoxyacetic acid to produce 4-(phenoxymethyl)benzoic acid, which has an increased spectrum of activity against bacteria. 4-(Phenoxymethyl)benzoic acid is active against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and other drug-resistant strains of bacteria. The antibiotic binds to bacterial DNA gyrase, preventing the synthesis of proteins necessary for cell division. This causes bacterial cells to die by inhibiting protein synthesis and cell division.
