Bioactivity | Proparacaine Hydrochloride (Proxymetacaine Hydrochloride) is a derivative of lidocaine (HY-B0185), with immunomodulatory effect and glucocorticomimetic activity[1][2]. |
Invitro | 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 cells [1].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 induces caspase-2, -3 and -9 activation, and mitochondrial transmembrane potential disruption[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].
