Application

Tocainide hydrochloride may be used in cell signaling studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Tocainide hydrochloride is a primary amine analog of lidocaine (lignocaine), used for the treatment of tinnitus.[1] It blocks the sodium channels in the pain-producing foci in the nerve membranes and renders an analgesic effect in trigeminal neuralgia.[2]
Tocainide hydrochloride is a sodium channel blocker; Class IB antiarrhythmic.

Features and Benefits

This compound was developed by AstraZeneca. To browse the list of other pharma-developed compounds and Approved Drugs/Drug Candidates, click here.
Tocainide is voltage-dependent and use-dependent sodium channel blocker (class IB type antiarrhythmic); Ki = 115 μM in blockade of inactivated-state sodium channels; IC50 = 985μM in blockade of Na+ currents at a holding potential (HP) of -140 mV; IC50 = 254 μM in blockade of Na+ currents at HP -70 mV; IC50 = 523 μM in blockade of Na+ currents at tonic block (-100 mV); IC50 = 248 μM for use-dependent block at 10 Hz.

Enantiomeric forms of Tocainide, Mexiletine, and structurally related local anaesthetic compounds, were analyzed with respect to their potency in blocking Na(v)1.4 channel. Structure-activity relationships based on in vitro pharmacological assays, suggested that an increase in terms of lipophilicity and/or molecular

Non-antiepileptic drugs have been used in trigeminal neuralgia management since the 1970s. The objective was to review systematically the efficacy of non-antiepileptic drugs for trigeminal neuralgia. We searched the Cochrane Neuromuscular Disease Group Register, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and LILACS (all to

Drug screening on sodium currents of native myofibers by means of voltage-clamp recordings is predictive of pre-clinical anti-myotonic activity in vivo and ex vivo. By this approach we identified the N-benzylated beta-proline derivative of tocainide (To10) as the most potent

The role of voltage-gated sodium channels in the transmission of neuropathic pain is well recognized. For instance, genetic evidence recently indicate that the human Nav1.7 sodium channel subtype plays a crucial role in the ability to perceive pain sensation and

1-Benzyl-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)piperidine-3-carboxamide and 4-benzyl-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)piperazine-2-carboxamide, two conformationally restricted analogues of tocainide, were designed and synthesized as voltage-gated skeletal muscle sodium channel blockers. They showed, with respect to tocainide, a marked increase in both potency and use-dependent block.
