Does dihydroartemisinin inhibit cell proliferation by induced G1 arrest and apoptosis in human nasopharyngealcarcinoma cells?
DHA shows significant anticancer effects on human NPC cells, and may be a preventive and therapeutic agent against NPC.
Systematic comparison was assessed morphologically in growth cones and neurites exposed to seven local anesthetics. The order of neurotoxicity was procaine = mepivacaine < ropivacaine = bupivacaine < lidocaine < tetracaine < dibucaine. Although lidocaine is more toxic than bupivacaine and ropivacaine, mepivacaine, which has a similar pharmacological effect to lidocaine, is the safest among clinically used local anesthetics.
