  Objectives: Local anesthetics (LAs) cause the loss of sensitivity to the nociceptive stimulus by the reversible blockade of the neural electrical impulse. These drugs are widely used for pain control in many clinical procedures and in other therapeutic applications. Besides the effects on voltage-gated sodium channels, LAs can modulate different cellular pathways. The review seeks to address the effects of local anesthetics on the cellular viability, apoptosis induction and inflammatory response. Methods: Data was collected from MEDLINE®, Scopus® and Web of Science, the searches were performed between November 2017 and April 2018. Results: LAs induce necrosis and apoptosis in a time and dose-dependent manner. Apoptosis occurs primarily by the intrinsic pathway through the loss of mitochondri.. View More»
