Proparacaine HCl (Proxymetacaine; Proxymetacaine), the hydrochloride salt of proparacaine, is a voltage-gated sodium channels antagonist approved as an ophthalmic solution for topical anesthetic use in ophthalmic practice. It inhibits voltage-gated sodium channels with ED50 of 3.4 mM. Proparacaine is more potent and less toxic than cocaine. Proparacaine significantly increases in FHV-1, C. felis, and 28S rDNA Ct values when fusidic acid is used. Proparacaine inhibits corneal epithelial migration and adhesion through alteration of the actin cytoskeleton. Proparacaine acts like bupivacaine or lidocaine and produces dose-related spinal blockades of motor function, proprioception and nociception.
ln Vitro |
Proparacaine Hydrochloride (>588.93 μM; 4-28 hours) has a dose- and time-dependent cytotoxicity to HCS cells at concentrations in vitro[1]. Proparacaine Hydrochloride (294.47-18.85 mM; 4-12 hours) can induce apoptosis of HCS Proparacaine Hydrochloride (4.71 mM; 4-12 hours) induces G1 phase arrest, plasma membrane permeability elevation, phosphatidylserine externalization, DNA fragmentation, chromatin condensation, and apoptotic body formation of HCS cells [1]. Proparacaine hydrochloride causes disruption of the mitochondrial transmembrane potential as well as activation of caspase -2, -3, and -9[1]. Proparacaine Hydrochloride (4.71 mM; 4-12 hours) downregulates and upregulates the expression of Bcl-xL and Bax, respectively, and remarkably upregulates cytoplasmic cytochrome C and apoptosis inducing factor[1].

ln Vivo |
When administered intranasally for seven days, proparacaine hydrochloride (75 μg/30 μL) dramatically reduces the amount of mast cells, goblet cells, and eosinophils in the nasal mucosa's lamina propria[2].

Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.56 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.56 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. View More

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
