Product Data
Biological target:
Dibucaine hydrochloride (Cinchocaine hydrochloride) is a sodium channel and SChE inhibitor.
In vitro activity:
Effects of dibucaine on depolarization of ΔΨm in platelets were investigated by flow cytometry with the cell-permeable lipophilic cationic dye TMRE. Figure 1a and b demonstrated clearly that dibucaine, but not the vehicle control DMSO, dose-dependently elicited depolarization of ΔΨm in platelets, as monitored by decreased fluorescence in TMRE-stained platelets, and an increase of depolarized platelets. To further investigate whether dibucaine can elicit platelet apoptosis through the mitochondria-mediated pathway, the expression profiles of the Bcl-2 family proteins including Bax, Bak, Bcl-2, and Bcl-XL were analyzed. As shown in Figure 1c and d, the expression levels of pro-apoptotic proteins Bax and Bak increased significantly in platelets following dibucaine induction. Conversely, decreased expression levels of anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL were detected simultaneously, consistent with previous studies. In addition, there was an obvious increase in mitochondrial membrane-bound Bax. Taken together, these data indicate that dibucaine induces platelet apoptosis and platelet dysfunction.

In vivo activity:
Dibucaine was administered intravenously at 2.5 mg/kg in a mouse stroke model. Dibucaine was administered immediately after the onset of photothrombotically-induced spreading depolarization. Though dibucaine did not inhibit the occurrence of spontaneous spreading depolarizations, dendritic structure remained remarkably stable following recovery from initial induced spreading depolarization (Fig. 3B). Dibucaine significantly reduced the percentage of spontaneous spreading depolarizations that were temporally correlated with dendritic beading (Fig. 3C). Intriguingly, in a subset of 4 mice in which dibucaine injection was delayed until 30 min after photothrombotically-induced initial spreading depolarization, no beading was seen following dibucaine administration. Additionally, dibucaine treatment did not affect the quantitative features of spontaneous spreading depolarizations (p>0.05, Mann–Whitney U test, data not shown). Nevertheless, dibucaine-treated mice had significantly fewer incidents of terminal dendritic beading (i.e. beading without further recovery), occurring in just 1 of 11 mice (compared to 13 of 17 control mice).
