In this study, the effects of two anesthetic agents with different properties on the life span of
Drosophila melanogaster (fruit-fly) were investigated. There are very few studies on the effects of local anesthetics
in this organism. For this purpose, different doses of the local anesthetic agents (0.0625 %, 0.125 %, 0.25 % and
0.5 %) were applied to third stage larvae. The data obtained from control and test groups showed that there were
changes in the longevity of adults flies which grew from larvae to exposed to these agents. The present results
elucidated that although lidocaine and bupivacaine applications increased life span in parallel with an increase
in dose in female individuals compared to control (p<0.05). The mixture of these two local anesthetics affected
adversely mean life span, maximum mean life span.
