프로카인아미드하이드로클로라이드

Procainamide hydrochloride is a white or light yellow crystalline powder with a melting point of 165–169 °C. It is soluble in water and ethanol, slightly soluble in chloroform, and very slightly soluble in ether or benzene. It is odorless and hygroscopic.

용도Procainamide hydrochloride (PAH) is suitable to investigate its binding behavior with human serum albumin and bovine serum albumin by fluorescence quenching study to understand the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic mechanisms of PAH.

일반 설명Procainamide hydrochloride,p-amino-N-[2-(diethylamino)ethyl]benzamidemonohydrochloride, procainamidium chloride (Pronestyl,Procan SR), has emerged as a major antiarrhythmic drug. Itwas developed in the course of research for compoundsstructurally similar to procaine, which had limited effectas an antiarrhythmic agent because of its central nervoussystem (CNS) side effects and short-lived action causedby rapid hydrolysis of its ester linkage by plasma esterases.Because of its amide structure, procainamide hydrochlorideis also more stable in water than is procaine. Aqueoussolutions of procainamide hydrochloride have a pH ofabout 5.5. A kinetic study of the acid-catalyzed hydrolysisof procainamide hydrochloride showed it to be unusuallystable to hydrolysis in the pH range 2 to 7, even at elevatedtemperatures.
