Pharmaceutical Chemistry
Procaine Hydrochloride
Formula:
C13H20N2O2·HCl
GOST/CAS:
CAS: 51-05-8
Procaine Hydrochloride is a local anesthetic agent of the ester group with a moderate onset and a broad therapeutic window. The product is a white crystalline powder or colorless, odorless crystals that are freely soluble in water. Due to its chemical stability and low toxicity profile, it serves as a fundamental active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in the production of injectable solutions and topical ointments, effectively blocking sodium channels to prevent the generation of nerve impulses.
Applications
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Primary active ingredient for the formulation of various concentrations of injectable solutions, suppositories, and therapeutic salves.
Veterinary Medicine: Used as a reliable anesthetic for surgical procedures and nerve blocks in livestock and domestic animals.
Therapeutic Practice: Utilized in combination therapies for vascular disorders, neuralgia, and managing pain of various etiologies.
Cosmetology: Integrated into specialized procedural creams to manage pain during minimally invasive dermatological treatments.
Key Advantages
High Purity Levels: Full compliance with international pharmacopoeia standards (BP/USP/EP) ensures minimal impurities and consistent clinical results.
Low Toxicity: Exhibits a lower toxicity profile compared to many modern amide-type anesthetics, allowing for a versatile range of applications.
Rapid Solubility: Dissolves quickly and completely in water and alcohol, simplifying the compounding process for sterile dosage forms.
Multi-functional Effects: Beyond anesthesia, it provides mild hypotensive, anti-arrhythmic, and anti-spasmodic benefits.
Storage & Transportation
- Store in tightly closed original containers in a cool, dry, and dark environment (Schedule B / Prescription grade storage).
- Protect from direct sunlight and high-heat sources to prevent chemical degradation of the active substance.
- Transportation should be conducted in covered vehicles, adhering to pharmaceutical-grade temperature controls and safety regulations.
