Procaine is a benzoic acid derivative with local anesthetic and antiarrhythmic properties. Procaine binds to and inhibits voltage-gated sodium channels, thereby inhibiting the ionic flux required for the initiation and conduction of impulses. Кроме того, this agent increases electrical excitation threshold, reduces rate of rise of action potential and slows nerve impulse propagation thereby causing loss of sensation.
Procaine is a kind of local anesthetics. With low toxicity but quick and safe effects, procaine is suitable for local anesthesia, applied to the eye, ear, nose, teeth and other department operation, used for infiltration anesthesia, anesthesia and closed therapy supervisor.
