Chloroprocaine HCl

Chloroprocaine hydrochloride, i.e., 2-Chloroprocaine hydrochloride, is a local anesthetic that exerts its effects by inhibiting Na,K-ATPase enzyme activity; its experimentally determined IC50 is approximately 13 mM. Its primary mechanism of action is to block the generation of action potentials mediated by sodium ion channels during peripheral nerve conduction, thereby producing a reversible local anesthetic effect. In biomedical research, this compound is commonly used in neurophysiology experiments to study peripheral nerve conduction processes and sodium channel-dependent signal transduction mechanisms.
