Procaine-d₄ hydrochloride  (Synonyms: 盐酸普鲁卡因 d₄ (盐酸盐))

Procaine-d₄ (hydrochloride) is the deuterium labeled Procaine hydrochloride. Procaine hydrochloride is a DNA-demethylating agent. Procaine hydrochloride acts through multiple targets and has a slow onset and a short duration of action[1][2].

Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs^[1].

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