LD 50 1
OBJECTIVES • To determine the LD50 of Lidocaine in mice To determine the toxic effects of Lidocaine
2
Lethal Dose • refers to the dose (dose/Kg of body weight) at which a given percentage of subjects will die • LD values for humans are generally estimated by extrapolating results from testing on animals or on human cell cultures • depends on the species of animal and the route of administration
3
LD 50 • commonly used indicator of lethality • the dose at which 50% of the subjects die • important in determining the therapeutic index and margin of safety of a given substance
4
Acut e Toxi city • describes the adverse effects of a substance which result either from a single exposure or from multiple exposures in a short space of time (usually less than 24 hours)

PHA RM ACOKI NE TI CS • undergoes extensive 1st pass metabolism in the liver I.V. route • as a local anesthetic: injection into the dermis for faster absorption • distribution: the brain, liver, kidney, and heart (rapid); GI and Muscles (slow) • metabolized by CYT P450 in the liver 7

Acute toxicity describes the adverse effects of a substance which result either from a single exposure[1] or from multiple exposures in a short space of time (usually less than 24 hours).[2] To be described as acute toxicity, the adverse effects should occur within 14 days of the administration of the substance.[2] Acute toxicity is distinguished from chronic toxicity, which describes the adverse health effects from repeated exposures, often at lower levels, to a substance over a longer time period (months or years). It is obviously unethical to test for acute (or chronic) toxicity in humans. However, some information can be gained from investigating accidental human exposures (e.g. factory accidents). Otherwise, most acute toxicity data comes from animal testing or, more recently, in vitro testing methods and inference from data on similar substances.

Abstract Background and objective: Clinical studies suggest that lidocaine may induce irreversible neurological damage after spinal application in human beings. The mechanisms underlying the possible cytotoxic action of lidocaine have only been suggested from animal studies. This study aimed to investigate if lidocaine exhibited cytotoxic action in a human model widely used for the study of neuronal apoptosis. This is important to know as it may help one to judge on possible neurotoxic risks imposed by the spinal application of lidocaine. Methods: The concentration- and time-dependent effects of lidocaine on retinoic acid-differentiated human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells were quantified by trypan blue staining, the release of lactate dehydrogenase, immunocytochemistry and flow cytometry. 41
Results: The local anaesthetic caused a significant increase in the number of cells staining positive for trypan blue, a significant increase of LDH release into the incubation medium, and a significant increase of 7AAD and annexin V binding. Lidocaine induced apoptosis already at 3 mm. At a concentration of 10 mmol 47% of the cells and at 30 mmol 98% of the cell population was necrotic. Both necrosis and apoptosis were time-dependent. Conclusions: The results demonstrate that lidocaine exhibited neurotoxic effects in a human model established for the study of drug-induced neuronal apoptosis. The results were consistent with the neurotoxic clinical effects of lidocaine. These effects may be produced by more than a single mechanism. (Accepted October 2001) 42
