procainamide and Cancer of Prostate

procainamide has been researched along with Cancer of Prostate in 2 studies

Procainamide: A class Ia antiarrhythmic drug that is structurally-related to PROCAINE.
procainamide : A benzamide that is 4-aminobenzamide substituted on the amide N by a 2-(diethylamino)ethyl group. It is a pharmaceutical antiarrhythmic agent used for the medical treatment of cardiac arrhythmias.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Human prostate cancer (PCA) cells characteristically contain hypermethylated CpG island sequences encompassing the transcriptional regulatory region of GSTP1, the gene encoding the pi-class glutathione S-transferase (GSTP1), and fail to express GSTP1 as a consequence of transcriptional "silencing."1.31Reversal of GSTP1 CpG island hypermethylation and reactivation of pi-class glutathione S-transferase (GSTP1) expression in human prostate cancer cells by treatment with procainamide.
