Biological Activity: Dyclonine (Dyclocaine) is an orally active, blood-brain barrier-permeable piperidine phenylacetone small molecule commonly used as a local anesthetic. Dyclonine acts as a highly selective allosteric antagonist of TRPV3; it also reversibly inhibits G9a, ALDH2 and ALDH3A1, non-competitively blocks AChE. Dyclonine activates the Nrf2/ARE pathway, relieves the epigenetic silencing of FXN, blocks Aβ42 aggregation, and promotes remyelination and reparative polarization of microglia. Dyclonine alleviates pruritus via TRPV3 inhibition; it is used in studies of neurodegenerative disease models based on its AChE inhibitory, antioxidant and remyelinating effects; it sensitizes drug-resistant tumors through ALDH inhibition, and combined use with protease inhibitors induces more tumor cell apoptosis; it inhibits Candida albicans in vitro. Dyclonine can be used for research on multiple diseases including neurodegenerative diseases, cancer and pruritic dermatitis^[1][2][3][4].
