Investigation of propofol, fentanyl, and midazolam-related toxicity and the protective effect of midazolam on THLE-2 cell lines

The widespread use of propofol, fentanyl, and midazolam in intensive care units necessitates a thorough understanding of their potential toxic effects.

description The widespread use of propofol, fentanyl, and midazolam in intensive care units necessitates a thorough understanding of their potential toxic effects. These sedative-hypnotic agents are frequently administered in combination to manage critically ill patients, raising concerns about their cumulative toxicity. To address this, we investigated the cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of these drugs, both individually and in combination, on a human liver epithelial cell line (THLE-2). The liver, as a major organ involved in drug metabolism, is particularly vulnerable to drug-induced toxicity. By evaluating the impact of these agents on liver cells, we aim to gain insights into their potential adverse effects and inform clinical practice.
