Procainamide (hydrochloride)
- CAS Number: 614-39-1
- UNSPSC Description: Procainamide hydrochloride (Procaine amide hydrochloride) is a specific and potent inhibitor of DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1), which reactivates the expression of tumor suppressor factors by demethylating tumor suppressor genes. Procainamide hydrochloride induces vacuolization in various cell types and reduces cell proliferation and migration. Procainamide hydrochloride relaxes airway smooth muscle by activating potassium channels. Procainamide hydrochloride can be used in cancer and arrhythmia research[1][2][3][4][5][6].
