Overview
Procainamide Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of procainamide, an amide derivative exhibiting class 1A antiarrhythmic property and analog of procaine. Procainamide hydrochloride reversibly binds to and blocks activated (open) voltage-gated sodium channels, thereby blocks the influx of sodium ions into the cell, which leads to an increase in threshold for excitation and inhibit depolarization during phase 0 of the action potential. In addition, the effective refractory period (ERP), action potential duration (APD), and ERP/APD ratios are increased, resulting in decreased impulse conduction velocity. The lasting action potential may also be due to blockage of outward K+ currents. The result is a decrease in automaticity, increase in refractory period and slowing of impulse conduction.

MeSH Pharmacological Classification
Agents used for the treatment or prevention of cardiac arrhythmias. They may affect the polarization-repolarization phase of the action potential, its excitability or refractoriness, or impulse conduction or membrane responsiveness within cardiac fibers. Anti-arrhythmia agents are often classed into four main groups according to their mechanism of action: sodium channel blockade, beta-adrenergic blockade, repolarization prolongation, or calcium channel blockade.
A class of drugs that inhibit the activation of VOLTAGE-GATED SODIUM CHANNELS.
