Procaine is a noted sodium channel blocker with a variety of inhibitory effects. In skeletal muscle, procaine has been reported to inhibit calcium-induced calcium release (CICR). Procaine is also noted to act as a DNA methylation inhibitor and to cause demetylation and reactivation of methylation-silenced genes such as RARbeta and GSTP1. In studies utilizing a neuroblastoma cell line (SHEP), procaine is reported to induce neuronal apoptosis in a manner correlated with lipid solubility of the compound. In an adult mouse muscle cell line HEK293 (WCL: sc-45136), the presence of procaine is reported to potently inhibit AChR (nicotinic acetylcholine receptors).
