Use of zebrafish (Danio rerio) in experimental models for biological assay with natural products
Research on natural products is facing significant difficulty. The analysis "high-throughput screening" has limited effectiveness in their evaluation. This report on in vitro screening of pharmacological activity of the drugs candidate molecule by evaluating a single target. The presence of many substances in a natural extract makes this process unprecise. The zebrafish (Danio rerio, ZF) is well suited to...
