Cat. No.: HY-A0084 Purity: ≥98.0%
COA Handling Instructions

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.

IC50 & Target

DNMT1[1]

In Vitro

Procainamide hydrochloride has a Ki of 7.2 μM for DNMT1 inhibition on hemimethylated oligonucleotide substrates and a Ki of 4600 μM for DNMT1 inhibition on unmethylated oligonucleotide substrates[1].
Procainamide hydrochloride (0.5 mM; 96 h) causes loss of CpG methylation in HCT116 cells and affects centromeric repeat sequences and single-copy genes[1].
Procainamide hydrochloride (0-10 mM) concentration-dependently relaxes bovine tracheal contractions induced by methacholine (0.3 μM) but does not significantly relax contractions induced by potassium ions (40 mM)[4].
Procainamide hydrochloride (250 μM-2.5 mM; 0-48 h) does not induce cellular vacuolization at a dose of 250 μM, but induces cellular vacuolization in many cells at a dose of 2.5 mM[5].
Procainamide hydrochloride (10 μM; 5 d) demethylates ER, p16, and RAR genes in MDA-231, T24, and MCF-7 cell lines[6].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Procainamide hydrochloride (20 mg/kg; i.p.; once daily for 7 days) demethylates and re-expresses the ER gene in BALB/c mice xenografted with MDA-231 cells[6].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 3.25 mg/mL (11.96 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 3.25 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (32.5 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 3.25 mg/mL (11.96 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 3.25 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (32.5 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
