Chloroprocaine identity Establish the registered compound and the chemical form actually present.

Molecular recognition

Recognise chloroprocaine by structure rather than anesthetic function or name alone.

Chlorinated procaine structure

Record evidence for the amino-substituted chlorobenzoate ester and its substitution pattern.

  1. Does the verified structure establish chloroprocaine rather than procaine, an isomer or another local anesthetic? definition
  2. Which authoritative identity record and analytical evidence support this assignment? provenance

Parent and salt

Separate the registered parent identity from the supplied hydrochloride form.

Form-specific identifiers

Attach identifiers and molecular quantities to the correct chemical form while retaining the registry's single entry.

Intact-substance quality

Distinguish chloroprocaine content from related substances, degradation products and deliberately added ingredients.

  1. Which impurities or degradation products were tested, and what limits and results apply to this lot? measurement
  2. Does the certificate of analysis support release for the declared grade, or is further testing required? action

What it is Filled

Chloroprocaine is a synthetic amino-ester local anesthetic, structurally the 2-chloro derivative of procaine, that reversibly inhibits voltage-gated sodium channels and is commonly formulated as its hydrochloride salt.

In scope

  • Chloroprocaine molecular identity and differentiation from procaine and other local anesthetics
  • Parent-compound and hydrochloride-form relationships with explicit assay and concentration bases
  • Material grade, purity, impurities and degradation state
  • Physical properties, solution conditions and storage stability
  • Pharmacological identity and evidence needed to assess handling and formulation compatibility

Out of scope

  • Finished injectable-product composition, packaging and marketing authorisation as independent product records
  • Patient-specific anesthetic selection, dosing and clinical monitoring
  • Anesthesia procedures and delivery devices
  • Manufacturing-process design and synthesis instructions
  • Independent models of procaine, degradation products or other local anesthetics

Why it exists Filled

Enable an agent to recognise chloroprocaine, assess the identity and condition of a material containing it, and determine which handling or use decisions require formulation-specific evidence.

Distinguishing features Filled

  • Confirm the 4-amino-2-chlorobenzoate ester structure: chloroprocaine differs from procaine by chlorine substitution adjacent to the carboxyl-derived group. [PubChem](https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/133-16-4)
  • Match the neutral parent to formula C13H19ClN2O2, CAS 133-16-4 and PubChem CID 8612; do not assign those identifiers indiscriminately to the hydrochloride salt. [PubChem](https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/133-16-4)
  • Distinguish hydrochloride salt formation from the chlorine already covalently attached to the aromatic ring: the hydrochloride has formula C13H20Cl2N2O2 and PubChem CID 441348. [PubChem hydrochloride record](https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Chloroprocaine-hydrochloride)
  • Verify an ester linkage when differentiating chloroprocaine from amide local anesthetics; a shared anesthetic function does not establish chemical identity.
  • Treat route suitability as a product-specific test: CLOROTEKAL is labeled for intrathecal use, whereas another chloroprocaine hydrochloride injection explicitly excludes spinal anesthesia. [CLOROTEKAL label](https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=90f7a095-f6db-456b-951f-9aee54c5dbc0), [other injection label](https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=e21e24d5-0535-4962-b9ed-7957fe4ed3db)
