Product Information

• Name: 2-Amino-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)acetamide hydrochloride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Procaine is a local anesthetic that can be used in humans and animals. It is a competitive inhibitor of enzymes that catalyze the formation of prostaglandins from arachidonic acid, such as cyclooxygenase, lipoxygenase, and cytochrome P450. Procaine has been shown to inhibit the activity of these enzymes by binding to their active site, thereby preventing them from forming prostaglandins. The inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis by procaine prevents the pain caused by tissue damage or inflammation. Procaine is also thought to interact with calcium concentrations in neurons and synaptic vesicles, which may lead to its ability to block voltage-gated sodium channels in nerve cells (e.g., transmission).
