Análise do potencial citotóxico agudo da bupivacaína e bupivacaína em excesso enantiomerico de 50% (S75-R25) incorporadas a microesferas sobre o nervo ciático de ratos

Abstract

Summary: Tanaka PP, Torres MF, Tenorio SB -Analysis of the Acute Cytotoxic Potential of Bupivacaine and 50% Enantiomeric Excess Bupivacaine (S75-R25) Incorporated into Microspheres in Rat Sciatic Nerves. Background and objectives:The duration of Local Anesthetic (LA) effects can be expanded by its incorporation into systems of sustained release microspheres. However, the possibility that LA sustained release systems are neurotoxic has not received due attention in literature. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of pure microspheres of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid), filled with 50% enantiomeric excess bupivacaine or bupivacaine (BP), as well as the effects of 50% enantiomeric excess bupivacaine in the sciatic nerve of Wistar rats.
