The primary objective of this in vitro study was to prevent the risk of toxicity associated with bupivacaine, widely used in clinical practice, by using magnesium (Mg), a readily available and cost-effective element, as an adjuvant. We hypothesized that Mg might exhibit a protective effect against cytotoxicity in a colon cell culture model under conditions of bupivacaine-induced LAST. Our secondary aim was to investigate its effect on genotoxicity, apoptosis, and iROS. CCD-18Co cells were used in our study. Control group (group C), Bupivacaine group (group B), Magnesium group (group M), and Bupivacaine+Mg group (group BM) were created. The viability of CCD-18Co cells incubated for 24 h in group C was determined to be 100%. These cells were evenly divided, and bupivacaine was administered to group B at concentrations of 5 to 300 μM. In group M, doses of Mg at 0.625 to 320 mEq were added. It was determined that the maximum viability was observed at a Mg dose of 40 mEq (p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p pp p p p p p p < 0.05). In conclusion, Mg exhibits a protective effect against bupivacaine-induced toxicity.
