Procaine is a local anesthetic with the chemical formula C13H18N2O2S. It belongs to the amino ester class of local anesthetics and is widely recognized for its application in medical and dental procedures.Procaine acts by inhibiting the transmission of nerve impulses in the targeted area, providing localized pain relief. It does this by blocking sodium channels in nerve membranes, preventing the depolarization required for nerve signal propagation. The onset of procaine is relatively quick, with effects typically lasting for about one to two hours, making it suitable for various short-term procedures. Due to its effectiveness and safety profile, procaine became a popular choice among healthcare providers, especially in outpatient settings.
