Product Data
Biological target:
Procainamide hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt preparation of Procainamide, a potent blocker of Na+ channels.
In vitro activity:
Procaine, a local anesthetic drug, and procainamide, a drug for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, have been reported as inhibitors of DNA methylation, causing demethylation and reactivation of methylation-silenced genes such as RARbeta and GSTP1. This study demonstrates promoter demethylation of WIF-1; restoration of WIF-1 expression, and underexpression of cytosolic beta-catenin protein and TCF reporter activity, after procaine and procainamide treatment in H460 and A549 cell lines. The results provide the first evidence that procaine and procainamide reactivate WIF-1 in these cancer cells and downregulate the Wnt canonical pathway.

In vivo activity:
Treatment of endotoxemic animals with procainamide not only inhibited the increased levels of DNMT1 and 5-methylcytosine but also ameliorated neutrophil infiltration and superoxide production in the lung. In addition, the anti-inflammatory gene, IL27RA, was down-regulated in the LPS group and up-regulated in the LPS + Procainamide group. Procainamide also diminished IL27RA methylation in the lung of endotoxemic rat. Moreover, both DNMT inhibitors procainamide and hydralazine improved hypotension, hypoglycemia, and multiple organ dysfunction of LPS-treated rats. This study suggests that the beneficial effects of procainamide could be attributed to the suppression of DNA methylation, neutrophil infiltration, superoxide production, and NO formation.
