Tocainide hydrochloride_product_DataBase

Bioactivity	Tocainide hydrochloride is a sodium channel blocker, it blocks the sodium channels in the pain-producing foci in the nerve membranes. Tocainide hydrochloride is a primary amine analog of lidocaine, can be used for the treatment of tinnitus[1][2].
Target	IC50: sodium channel
In Vivo	Tocainide (100 mg/kg) effectively suppresses ventricular ectopic activity in unanesthetized dogs with coronary occlusion. Termination of tocainide infusion in both digitalis toxicity and coronary occlusion models results in prompt return of ventricular ectopic activity[1].
