Procainamide is structurally similar to procaine, but in place of an ester group, procainamide contains an amide group. This substitution is the reason why procainamide exhibits a longer half-life time than procaine. [20] [21] Procainamide belongs to the aminobenzamides.
Procaine blockade is a medical treatment, where procaine solution affects the peripheral nervous system. Procaine blockade was developed by Aleksandr Vasilyevich Vishnevsky in 1929. There are lumbar, jugular, sacral, extremity and short neural blockades used.
