N-Dipropyl-Dimethocaine (dpDMC)

High-Purity N-Dipropyl-Dimethocaine (DPDMC) – Advanced Benzoate Ester for Analytical Research

Advance your laboratory’s understanding of local anesthetic analogs with our high-purity N-Dipropyl-Dimethocaine (DPDMC). DPDMC is a structural derivative of Dimethocaine (Larocaine) where the traditional N,N-diethyl substitution is replaced by an N,N-dipropyl group. This specific modification increases the lipophilic character of the molecule, making it a premier subject for researchers investigating the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of aminobenzoate esters and their interaction with monoamine transporters.

The DPDMC Research Advantage

• Increased Lipophilicity: The transition from ethyl to propyl chains alters the partition coefficient ($log P$), allowing for specialized studies on membrane permeability and blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration kinetics.

• Modified DAT Interaction: As a specialized analog, DPDMC is utilized in competitive binding assays to map the steric requirements of the dopamine transporter (DAT) binding pocket compared to cocaine and procaine.

• Hydrolytic Stability Profiling: The propyl substitution provides a unique steric environment around the amine, offering a valuable point of comparison for research into the enzymatic hydrolysis rates of benzoate ester derivatives.

Quality Assurance & Analytical Standards

At Eurochems, we provide research reagents that meet the highest institutional standards. Each batch of DPDMC is verified via High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to ensure a purity level of 98% or higher. We ensure a consistent crystalline form that provides a reliable and distinct spectroscopic signature for GC-MS and LC-MS analysis.
