Procaine: From Numbing Agent to Cancer-Fighting Repurposed Medication

Procaine has been around so long that it was grandfathered in by the FDA and is considered a true “veteran” in the medical field. But now, research is revealing how this old standby is showing promise as an anti-cancer powerhouse.

Here’s what you need to know:

1️⃣ Anti-Inflammatory & Pain Relief
* Procaine doesn’t just numb pain—it reduces inflammation in the cancer environment, and significantly improves cancer-related pain.

2️⃣ Anti-Oxidant Properties
* Acts as an antioxidant, fighting against harmful free radicals that fuel cancer.

3️⃣ Anti-Proliferative Action
* Research shows Procaine can reduce DNA methylation by 40% in breast cancer cell lines, slowing cancer cell growth and proliferation.

4️⃣ Pro-Apoptotic
* Encourages programmed cell death (apoptosis)—forcing cancer cells to self-destruct.

5️⃣ Anti-Metastatic
* Inhibits the spread of cancer by upregulating microRNAs like miR-133b, making it harder for cancer to metastasize.

6️⃣ Epigenetic Effects
* Reactivates tumor suppressor genes, boosting the body’s ability to fight off cancer naturally.

7️⃣ Adjunctive Therapy
* Procaine is also used as an adjunct to other cancer treatments like radiation, chemotherapy, and even hyperthermia, helping to improve the overall efficacy of these therapies.

This is the promise of repurposed medications—bringing old treatments back into the spotlight to provide innovative, affordable, and effective cancer care.
