Procaine is a local anesthetic that is used to block nerve conduction and relieve pain. It is a synthetic analog of clonidine and has been shown to be an α-2 adrenoceptor agonist in the human cerebral cortex and muscle, as well as a nociceptive agent in humans. Procaine also binds to cytochrome P450 enzymes, resulting in the inhibition of hepatic metabolism, which may prolong its therapeutic effects.
