Novocaine, also known as procaine, is a local anesthetic that was first synthesized in 1905. It is derived from para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) and is part of the ester class of anesthetics. Although it was widely used in dentistry and minor surgeries, it has largely been replaced by more effective and longer-lasting anesthetics in modern practice.
