| description | Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been used to reduce pain and
treat inflammatory diseases such as Rheumatoid Arthritis and Alzhemeir’s Disease.
However, treatment with NSAIDs has been associated with significance side effects
towards heart diseases in humans and experimental animals in long terms. Our
previous study has shown that curcumin analogue, 2,6-bis(2-
fluorobenzylidene)cyclohexanone (MS65) demonstrated strong anti-inflammatory
activity in cellular model. Thus, in the present study the toxicity effects of newly
synthesized curcumin analogue (MS65) was determined on zebrafish (Danio rerio)
as an animal model. The toxicity effects of MS65 compound were evaluated by
measuring survival rate and recording heartbeat of zebrafish embryos from day 0 to
day 5, observing the morphological defects in developing zebrafish embryos,
investigating the cardiac defects on 72 hours postfertilization of zebrafish
larvae via fluorescence immunostaining and observing the toxicity effects
on adult zebrafish kidney and intestine via histopathology. The toxicity effects of
curcumin, celecoxib and aristolochic acid (AA) were also carried out for
comparison. The LC50 value of survival rate for MS65 compound on zebrafish
embryos were 12.5 µM. The heart rate of zebrafish larvae recorded at 5 day of
exposure to 6.25 µM of MS65 was 131 ± 0.15 min-1
. The morphological defect
result showed pericardial edema toward zebrafish embryos after treated with 6.25
µM of MS65. MF20 Monoclonal antibody stained uniformly in the heart of MS65-
treated zebrafish larvae and showed normal size of the heart. In contrast, MF20
staining in AA-treated zebrafish larvae showed a more intense
pattern and highlighted the small size of the heart. Histological analysis reveals that
MS65-treated adult zebrafish displayed less necrosis in kidney and low level of
erosion in intestine. The results demonstrated that MS65 compound showed low
toxicity effects toward zebrafish model compared to celecoxib, an NSAID and AA, a
toxic compound that caused heart failure in zebrafish embryos. As a conclusion, the
ii
present study indicated that the newly synthesized curcumin analogue, MS65 has
low toxicity effects towards zebrafish model and could be pharmacologic potential
drug in the treatment of diseases with low toxicity effects. |
