Can Scientific Evidence Support Using Bangladeshi Traditional Medicinal Plants in the Treatment of Diarrhoea? A Review on Seven Plants

TL;DR: There is limited scientific evidence supporting the traditional use of these plants against diarrhoea, but most promising are the barks from D. peregrina, X. granatum and X. moluccensis which contain tannins and have shown promising results in antidiarrhoeal mice models.

Isolation of a small molecule with anti-MRSA activity from a mangrove symbiont Streptomyces sp. PVRK-1 and its biomedical studies in Zebrafish embryos

TL;DR: The aim of the present study was to isolate the anti-MRSA molecule from the Mangrove symbiont Streptomyces and its biomedical studies in Zebrafish embryos and assessed that the molecule was non toxic at the minimal inhibitory concentration of MRSA.

Sensitivity of zebrafish to environmental toxins implicated in Parkinson's disease

TL;DR: It is reported that adult zebrafish display behavioral alterations, including decreased locomotor activity in response to MPTP, whereas larvalZebrafish exhibited developmental, behavioral, and DA sensitivity to these agents, suggesting that zebra fish could be a valuable model for genetically dissecting the molecular mechanisms underlying the neurotoxicity of PD-inducing agents.

Zebrafish: an emerging technology for in vivo pharmacological assessment to identify potential safety liabilities in early drug discovery.

TL;DR: The zebrafish is emerging as a versatile in vivo animal model to identify off‐target effects that need investigation and further clarification early in the drug discovery process to reduce the current, high degree of attrition in development.
