Pramocaine hydrochloride
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Pramocaine (Pramoxine) hydrochloride is a topical surface anesthetic and antipruritic agent. Pramocaine hydrochloride reversibly inhibits voltage-gated sodium channel, reduces transmembrane permeability of sodium ions, stabilizes cell membranes, prevents depolarization, blocks action potential conduction, and inhibits peripheral slow C-fiber pathways associated with pain, pruritus and thermoception. Pramocaine hydrochloride can be used in research related to chronic pruritus, renal pruritus, atopic dermatitis, xerotic pruritus, uremic pruritus, and cutaneous hyperalgesia/pain.

-
Animal Model:Sprague-Dawley (male, 298 to 348 g)[2]
-
Dosage:7.74 μmol/kg; 15.48 μmol/kg; 23.22 μmol/kg; 30.96 μmol/kg
-
Administration:intrathecal; single injection
-
Result:Elicited dose-dependent spinal block of nociception, proprioception, and motor function.
Determined ED50 values of 15.47 μmol/kg for nociceptive block, 16.46 μmol/kg for proprioceptive block, and 17.77 μmol/kg for motor block.
Reported mean ED75 and ED25 values across all three block types as 20.83 μmol/kg and 13.17 μmol/kg, respectively.
Produced 100% maximum possible effect (%MPE) for all three block types at 30.96 μmol/kg, with complete blockade times of 36.9 minutes for nociception, 17.8 minutes for proprioception, and 15.4 minutes for motor function.
Recorded full recovery times of 94.2 minutes for nociception, 65.6 minutes for proprioception, and 41.3 minutes for motor function at 30.96 μmol/kg.
Measured AUC values of 6425 (%MPE × min) for nociception, 3709 (%MPE × min) for proprioception, and 2362 (%MPE × min) for motor function at 30.96 μmol/kg.
Showed no significant difference in spinal block duration compared to bupivacaine at equipotent doses (ED75, ED50, ED25).

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.58 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.58 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.
