| description | Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are among the most broadly prescribed
medications in the world. But, NSAIDs confer side effects towards the
gastrointestinal(GI) system.In Malaysia, the usage of one of the NSAIDs,celecoxib, a
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors, had increased by two fold from 2006 to 2007. Curcumin
analogues are of great interest in pharmacological research due to its advantages
compared with pure curcumin. Curcumin analogues are proposed to be used as an alternative
curative drugs for the treatment of certain ailments such as inflammatory
diseases.Recently, zebrafish has emerge as a toxicology test model organism for the
research of vertebrae genetics and developmental biology. The aim of this research is to determine
the effect of curcumin analogue (MS65) on zebrafish embryos survivability and heart beat,
zebrafish embryos development, and the kidney and intestine of adult zebrafish. The
estimated LC₅₀ of curcumin analogue were 12.5µM for embryos and larvae. Histological
analysis of the MS65 treated kidney of adult zebrafish showed low levels of necrosis
while eroded villi was associated with MS65 treated zebrafish intestine. Meanwhile,
zebrafish larvae incubated with MS65 developed yolk sac edema. Hence, the low toxicity shown by
curcumin analogue (MS65) on zebrafish embryos and larvae led to the proposal of curcumin analogue
(MS65) to be developed as an anti-inflammatory drugs. Further pre-clinical and clinical toxicity
studies have to be done before MS65 can be
developed as a new drug. |
